Resonator neuron and triggering multipulse excitability in laser with injected signal
Semiconductor lasers with coherent forcing are expected to behave similarly to simple neuron models in response to external perturbations, as long as the physics describing them can be approximated by that of an overdamped pendulum with fluid torque. Beyond the validity range of this approximation, more complex features can be expected. We perform experiments and numerical simulations which show that the system can display resonator and integrator features depending on parameters and that multiple pulses can be emitted in response to larger perturbations.
