Abstract :
Summary form only. Long-wavelength quantum-well (QW) lasers with phase-conjugate feedback (PCF) is one of the best physical system for studying nonlinear dynamics. In this work, we present to the best of our knowledge the first theoretical analysis and modeling of dynamics of long-wavelength QW lasers subjected to a phase-conjugate mirror (PCM) taking into account structure dependent effects of carrier transport. Except for carrier transport such intrinsic features of long-wavelength QW lasers as logarithmiclike gain and nonlinear recombination including Auger effect and amplified luminescence are considered as well.
