Suppression of Intensity and Frequency Noise at Low-Sensitivity Operating Points of Period-One Dynamics of Optically Injected Semiconductor Lasers

Period-one (P1) dynamics induced by an optically injected semiconductor laser oscillate at microwave frequencies. The oscillation frequency of a P1 dynamic can be rendered nearly insensitive to small-signal parameter fluctuations and intrinsic laser noise at appropriate operating conditions of the m...
