Summary:

Physicists and engineers survey recent developments in the mathematical, physical, and experimental aspects of nonlinear laser dynamics. The section on nanostructured devices reviews the dynamic properties and modeling aspects of quantum dot lasers, vertical cavity surface emitting lasers, and quantum cascade lasers. A second section, on coupled laser devices, focuses on the complex dynamics and bifurcations induced by self-coupling, delay coupling, or mode coupling lasers. The final section is on synchronization and cryptography, and discusses the chaotic dynamics of excitable systems and their application for secure communication or for generating synchronized cluster states in networks.
