Abstract
Nonlinear light-matter interactions may induce chaotic lasing dynamics in high-power broad-area semiconductor lasers. To control the nonlinear interactions between the lasing modes and the gain material, we manipulate the spatial structure of cavity resonances and vary their characteristic length scales. Experimentally we fabricate quasi-one-dimensional and two-dimensional microcavities of varying shapes and demonstrate diverse dynamical behaviors of the GaAs quantum well lasers.
