After passing through an acousto-optic modulator, the continuous-wave chaotic microcomb can be transformed into a pulsed chaotic microcomb, in which each comb line provides pulsed chaos.

Low-frequency regular pulse and intermittent oscillation in a mid-infrared interband cascade laser with optoelectronic feedback.

In this work, we experimentally investigate the nonlinear dynamics of a mid-infrared interband cascade laser (ICL) subject to optoelectronic feedback (OEF) through inspecting the time series and power spectrum of the laser output. The results show that, within the range of feedback strength limited by the experiment condition, the ICL sequentially presents stable state, continuously periodical oscillation (CPO), low-frequency regular pulse (LF-RP) and intermittent oscillation state with the increase of feedback strength. For the LF-RP state, the peak-to-peak value and the oscillation period increase with the increase of feedback strength.

Misestimate of the performance in VCSEL-based reservoir computing systems with optical information injection by high surface reflectivity.

In reservoir computing (RC) systems based on semiconductor lasers (SLs), the information that must be processed usually enters the reservoir through optical injection. Part of the injection information directly reflected by the front facet of the SLs is inevitably hybridized into the output of the SLs and contributes to the state of virtual nodes. For an RC system based on vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), the proportion of the reflected information coupled to the laser output is relatively huge due to the high surface reflectivity.

Fast physical random bit generation based on a chaotic optical injection system with multi-path optical feedback.

Based on the chaotic signal provided by a simple chaotic system, a random bit sequence with a rate of 640 Gb/s is generated through adopting the circulating exclusive-or (CXOR) post-processing method. Such a simple chaotic system is built via a slave semiconductor laser subject to optical injection of a chaotic signal originated from a master semiconductor laser under multi-path optical feedback. First, through inspecting the dependences of the time-delay-signature (TDS) and bandwidth of the chaotic signal on some key operation parameters, optimized parameters are determined for generating a high-quality chaotic signal with a large bandwidth and low TDS.

Based on a single-beam injection distributed feedback semiconductor laser (DFB-SL) combining with optical heterodyne, a photonic scheme for generating dual-linear chirp microwave (dual-LCM) signal with identical or complementary chirp is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. For such a scheme, a continuous-wave (CW) light with a frequency of finj is split into two parts. One part is passing through a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) driven by a modified sawtooth signal, and then its intensity varies with time as a sawtooth wave.

High-quality frequency-modulated continuous-wave generation based on a semiconductor laser subject to cascade-modulated optical injection.

Frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) can be acquired by using a distributed feedback semiconductor laser (DFB-SL) operating at period-one (P1) oscillation under an optical injection modulated by a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM). In this work, through introducing another MZM to establish cascade-modulated optical injection, an improved photonic scheme for generating high-quality FMCW is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The experimental results indicate that, under appropriate injection parameters, the central frequency of the generated FMCW is widely tunable, and the bandwidth is larger than that obtained under a single MZM modulation.

Time-delay signature characteristics of the chaotic output from an optoelectronic oscillator by introducing an optical feedback.

In this work, via autocorrelation function (ACF) and permutation entropy (PE) methods, we numerically investigate the time-delay signature (TDS) characteristics of the chaotic signal output from an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) after introducing an extra optical feedback loop. The results demonstrate that, for such a chaotic system, both the optoelectronic feedback with a delay time of T and the optical feedback with a delay time of T contribute to the TDS of generated chaos. The TDS of the chaotic signal should be evaluated within a large time window including T and T by the strongest peak in the ACF curve of the chaotic signal, and the strongest peak may locate at near T or T.

High-fat pancreatitis and hyperlipidemia refer to disorders of blood lipid metabolism caused by abnormally elevated blood lipids, and are risk factors for high-risk diseases such as atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and cerebral infarction. Hyperlipidemia is also a common disease that is common in modern people, and has a tendency to become younger. In this paper, probucol is made into a self-assembled probucol loaded nanosuspensions (SPN) using molecular selfassembly technology for research on improving its oral absorption.

Numerical simulations on narrow-linewidth photonic microwave generation based on a QD laser simultaneously subject to optical injection and optical feedback.

Based on a three-level model for quantum dot (QD) lasers, the characteristics of the photonic microwave generated by a QD laser simultaneously subject to optical injection and optical feedback are numerically investigated. First, the performance of the microwave signal generated by an optical injected QD laser operating at period one state are analyzed, and the mappings of the frequency and intensity of the generated microwave in the parameter space of the frequency detuning and injection strength are given, which are roughly similar to those reported experimentally. Next, an optical feedback loop is further introduced to the optically injected QD laser for compressing the linewidth of the microwave signal, and the results demonstrate that the linewidth of the generated microwave can be reduced by at least 1 order of magnitude under suitable feedback parameters.

Numerical investigations on multi-channel wideband chaotic signal generation by a multi-transverse mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser subject to chaotic optical injection.

A multi-channel wideband chaotic signal generation scheme is proposed and numerically investigated based on a slave multi-transverse mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (SL) subject to chaotic optical injection from a master multi-transverse mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (ML) with optical feedback. Taking two low-order transverse modes, LP01 and LP11, as an example for numerical calculations, the simulated results show that under suitable optical feedback both the LP01 and LP11 modes (two-channel) of a ML can be driven into the chaotic states where their bandwidths are relatively narrow at a level about 8 GHz. Further injecting the two chaotic signals into a SL, for the case of the globally chaotic optical injection, the SL can output two-channel chaotic signals with wide bandwidths above 20 GHz under appropriate operation parameters.

In this work, we propose a scheme of reservoir computing (RC) for processing a Santa-Fe time series prediction task and a signal classification task in parallel, and the performances of the RC have been numerically investigated. For this scheme, a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) simultaneously subject to double optical feedback and optical injection is utilized as a nonlinear node, and the parallel information processing of the RC system is implemented based on the dynamical responses of X polarization component (X-PC) and Y polarization component (Y-PC) in the VCSEL. Considering that two different feedback frames (polarization-preserved optical feedback (PP-OF) or polarization-rotated optical feedback (PR-OF)) may be adopted in two feedback loops, four feedback combination cases are numerically analyzed.

Nonsequential double ionization (NSDI) of Ar in co-rotating two-color circularly polarized (TCCP) laser fields is investigated with a three-dimensional classical ensemble model. Our numerical results indicate that co-rotating TCCP fields can induce NSDI by recollision process, while the yield is an order of magnitude lower than counter-rotating case. NSDI yield in co-rotating TCCP fields strongly depends on field ratio of the two colors and achieves its maximum at a ratio of 2.

We experimentally investigate the nonlinear dynamics of two mutually coupled 1550 nm multi-transverse-mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). The results show that, through continuously varying the coupling coefficient, the -polarization fundamental transverse mode and the -polarization first-order transverse mode in both VCSELs can be driven into period one, period doubling, multi-period, and chaos states. When the two mutually coupled VCSELs are simultaneously operating in the periodic state, localized synchronizations between the corresponding modes are observed.

We report an experimental and numerical investigation on the existence of additional delayed-time in chaos synchronization of two uni-directionally coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) for the first time. Under a generalized synchronization scenario, we demonstrate that there exists an additional delayed-time in addition to the time-of-flight between the two coupled VCSELs. The cross-correlation function analysis has been used as a method to determine the coupling delay and synchronization quality between two uni-directionally coupled chaotic VCSELs.

Intensity-dependent two-electron emission dynamics in nonsequential double ionization by counter-rotating two-color circularly polarized laser fields.

Nonsequential double ionization of helium in counter-rotating two-color circularly polarized laser fields is investigated with a three-dimensional classical ensemble model. At moderate intensity, the momentum distribution of the two electrons shows a maximum in the middle of each side of the triangle of the negative vector potential. At high intensity, the momentum distribution exhibits a double-triangle structure, which is attributed to the different values of the laser intensity where the two electrons are released after recollision.

Moreover, the correlated electron momentum spectra from elliptical polarization are always asymmetric, and the asymmetry is enhanced as the ellipticity increases.

Recollision dynamics in nonsequential double ionization of atoms by long-wavelength pulses.

Recollision dynamics and electron correlation behavior are investigated for several long laser wavelengths (1200-3000 nm) in nonsequential double ionization (NSDI) of helium using three-dimensional classical ensembles. Numerical results show that for these long wavelengths NSDI events are mainly from the multiple-return trajectory which is different from the case of 800 nm. Moreover, with increasing laser wavelength NSDI events move from the diagonal to the two axes in the correlated electron momentum distributions, and finally form an experimentally observed prominent V-shaped structure [Phys.
