Abstract	During recent years, compact lasers emitting single-frequency, diffraction limited continuous-wave CW beams at an optical power of several Watts have received considerable attention regarding several applications, such as frequency conversion, free-space communications, and pumping of fiber lasers and fiber amplifiers. A device which is capable to maintain a good beam quality and wavelength stability in the Watt range is the monolithically integrated master-oscillator power-amplifier (MOPA), where either a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) [1] or a distributed feedback (DFB) [2] laser and a flared (or tapered) gain-region amplifier are combined on a single chip. Figure 1 shows the structure of the DFB MOPA device that has been considered. It consists of an index guided DFB ridge-waveguide (RW) laser and a gain-guided tapered amplifier. Both regions are separately contacted and can be driven independently. The PA has a total flare angle of 6°. In order to understand the origin of different instabilities and transitions between different states we analyze and simulate a mathematical model based on travelling wave equations for the complex slowly varying amplitudes of the counterpropagating optical fields coupled to a diffusion equation for the excess carrier density and an equation for gain dispersion [2, 3]. Figure 2 (left) shows calculated optical spectra with increasing PA injection currents. The diagrams show a basic red shift of the lasing wavelength with increasing injected current as well as periodic changes of the lasing modes. To understand the properties of the laser, we consider the laser dynamics in terms of bifurcation diagrams. We perform a bifurcation analysis by using the power amplifier current as bifurcation parameter. We find Hopf bifurcation points and a scenario compatible with the quasiperiodic route to chaos is obtained as the injection current is increased.
