Abstract

We describe controlling chaos in a laser diode with an external cavity through a sinusoidal modulation to the injection current. The modulation is optimized by analytically determining the modulation frequency from the mode analysis of the dynamical model. The numerical results show that chaos can be successfully stabilized to various limit cycles with very small modulation amplitudes.
