abstract = {We unveil theoretically the bifurcations to chaotic low-frequency
fluctuations (LFF) in a laser diode with phase-
conjugate feedback (PCF). LFF occur from a chaotic itinerancy
among destabilized limit-cycle attractors that
correspond to the external-cavity modes (ECMs) of the PCF laser
system and with a directional motion toward
a self-pulsating dynamics of increasing frequency and larger
output power. When increasing the feedback strength,
the frequency of the fast-pulsing dynamics changes about a
multiple of the external-cavity frequency, which is a
unique feature of LFF in a laser diode with PCF.}
