We numerically analyze a delay differential equation model of a short-cavity semiconductor laser with an intracavity frequency swept filter and reveal a complex bifurcation structure responsible for the asymmetry of the output characteristics of this laser. We show that depending on the direction of the frequency sweep of a narrowband filter, there exist two bursting cycles determined by different parts of a continuous-wave solutions branch.

We reply to S. Coen and T. Sylvestres comment on our paper [Phys. Rev. A 80, 045803 (2009)] and make some additional remarks on our experimental results.
A large distance propagation in turbulent atmosphere results in disintegration of laser beam into speckles. We find that the most intense speckle approximately preserves both the Gaussian shape and the diameter of the initial collimated beam while loosing energy during propagation. One per 1000 of atmospheric realizations produces at 7km distance an intense speckle above 20% of the initial power. Such optimal realizations create effective extended lenses focusing the intense speckle beyond the diffraction limit of vacuum propagation. Atmospheric realizations change every several milliseconds. We propose to use intense speckles to greatly increase the time-averaged power delivery to the target plane by triggering the pulsed laser operations only at times of optimal realizations. Resulting power delivery and laser irradiance at the intense speckles well exceeds both intensity of diffraction-limited beam and intensity averaged over typical realizations.
We propose and numerically validate an all-optical scheme to generate optical pulse trains with varying temporal pulse-to-pulse delay and pulse duration. Applying a temporal sinusoidal phase modulation followed by a shaping of the spectral phase enables us to maintain high-quality Gaussian temporal profiles.
We study analytically the plasmonic modes in the graphene-coated dielectric nanowire, based on the explicit form of nonlinear surface conductivity of graphene. The propagation constants of different plasmonic modes can be tuned by the input power at the order of a few tenths of mW. The lower and upper mode bifurcation branches are connected at the limitation value of the input power. Moreover, due to the nonlinearity of graphene, the dispersion curves of plasmonic modes at different input powers form an energy band, which is in sharp contrast with the single dispersion curve in the limit of zero input power.
Chimera states -- named after the mythical beast with a lions head, a goats body, and a dragons tail -- correspond to spatiotemporal patterns characterised by the coexistence of coherent and incoherent domains in coupled systems. They were first identified in 2002 in theoretical studies of spatially extended networks of Stuart-Landau oscillators, and have been subject to extensive theoretical and experimental research ever since. While initially considered peculiar to networks with weak nonlocal coupling, recent theoretical studies have predicted that chimera-like states can emerge even in systems with purely local coupling. Here we report on the first experimental observations of chimera-like states in a system with local coupling -- a coherently-driven Kerr nonlinear optical resonator. We show that artificially engineered discreteness -- realised by suitably modulating the coherent driving field -- allows for the nonlinear localisation of spatiotemporal complexity, and we demonstrate unprecedented control over the existence, characteristics, and dynamics of the resulting chimera-like states. Moreover, using ultrafast time lens imaging, we resolve the chimeras picosecond-scale internal structure in real time.
