Abstract

This paper highlights the use of advanced numerical tools to study the stability of large-scale systems of delay differential equations (DDEs). Specifically, we consider a model describing a semiconductor laser subject to conventional optical feedback and lateral carrier diffusion. The symmetry of the governing rate equations allows external cavity mode solutions (ECMs) to be computed as steady state solutions. Using the software package DDE-BIFTOOL, branches of ECMs are computed as a function of varying feedback strength. The stability along these branches is computed by solving eigenvalue problems, the size of which is governed by a step-length heuristic. In this paper, we employ an improved heuristic which substantially reduces the size of these eigenvalue problems. This approach makes the stability analysis of large-scale systems of DDEs computationally feasible.
