Summary:
We experimentally investigate different dynamical scenarios of a dual-beam optically injected semiconductor laser. The dynamical scenarios are differentiated by determining whether the nonlinear dynamics induced with each single beam alone is preserved (P), shifted (S), suppressed (S') or if injection locking has occurred (L). Dynamical scenarios of PP, PS, SP, SS, S'S', LS', S'L and LL are identified in the mappings under the injection strengths domain and the detuning frequencies domain, respectively. Transitions among different dynamical scenarios are also shown through comparing the oscillation frequencies of the slave laser subject to single-beam and dual-beam injections.
