Funded Activity Summary

Chaotic Semiconductor Lasers and Controllability of Semiconductor Laser Noise. Chaotic semiconductor lasers (CSLs) are emerging as a potentially important light source for optical communication systems with improved security. Novel designs for compact, practical CSLs that can be integrated into existing optical communications networks will result. CSL systems suitable for secure point-to-point optical communication systems will also be developed. Fabrication of the devices in Australia means there is the opportunity for commercial exploitation at a national level. The scientific study of the characteristics of the CSLs, especially the chaos, will be interesting to the scientific and general community. The early career researchers involved will benefit from high quality professional development experiences.
