Two routes to phase-locking in the optically injected laser system are investigated both involving limit cycles where the phase of the slave laser is unlocked but is nevertheless bounded. We use an experimental phase-resolving technique to unambiguously demonstrate the phenomenon via explicit phasors for the slave laser electric field. Theoretical considerations show that for locking mechanisms involving Hopf bifurcations, such limit cycles of bounded phase are generic. For weakly damped devices, such as quantum well lasers, this can involve an excited resonance at the relaxation oscillation frequency. For highly damped devices there is no such excitation but the bounded phase …

This paper investigates the effects of Coulomb interactions on the emission dynamics of Sb-containing quantum dot (QD) systems under high excitation densities. Two different type-II confinements are studied: confined electrons with unconfined holes using InAs/GaAs QDs capped with a GaAsSb quantum well (type-IIa), and confined holes with unconfined electrons using GaSb/GaAs QDs capped with an InGaAs quantum well (type-IIb). Time-resolved photoluminescence experiments are compared with self-consistent numerical calculations using an 8-band k·p model. In both structures, we observe a significant blueshift of emission and wavelength-dependent radiative lifetimes, but with marked quantitative differences between the two systems: in the type-IIa, the …
