  • Abstract
    The onset of the coherence collapse (CC) regime, which is incompatible with data transmission, is investigated both theoretically and experimentally in a 1.55-μm InAs/InP quantum dash semiconductor laser. It is numerically shown that the filling from the excited state produces an additional term, which accelerates the route to chaos. This contribution can be seen as a perturbation that reduces the overall CC threshold.
