abstract = {A laser diode subject to a phase-conjugate optical feedback can
exhibit rich nonlinear dynamics and chaos.
We report here on two bifurcation mechanisms that appear when
increasing the amount of light being fed back
to the laser. First, we report on a full suppression of chaos
from a crisis induced by a saddle-node bifurcation
on self-pulsing, so-called external-cavity-mode solutions (ECMs).
Second, the feedback-dependent torus and
saddle-node bifurcations on ECMs may be responsible for large
regions of bistability between ECMs of different
and high (beyond gigahertz) frequencies.}
