Abstract
In this paper, we report on both experimental and theoretical investigations on the dynamics of self-pulsation regimes in a two-section QD laser that is operating simultaneously on the GS and ES transitions. We show that the competition between the two states results in anti-phase dynamics. We also found a sub-harmonic sequence that leads ultimately to chaos.
