Chaotic Generator of Light Pulses with Multi-Gigahertz Repetition Rate

We consider various implementations of a chaotic light pulse generator based on a solid-state laser synchronized with an external signal. It is shown that optoelectronic control, by selecting a delay of positive and negative feedback loops, makes it possible to generate not only multi-gigahertz sequences of light pulses of constant amplitude, but also to implement the regimes with chaotic behavior of varying complexity, including the logistic map scenario.
