Abstract
In this Letter, we design and realize a hybrid-cavity laser with single- or dual-mode lasing states and study the nonlinear states of the laser under external optical feedback (EOF). The laser at a dual-mode state easily and directly enters the chaotic state without periodic oscillation states and display chaos for a much wider range of the EOF magnitude than the laser at a single-mode state. A flat chaotic signal is obtained for the laser at a dual-mode lasing state under a weak EOF benefitting from the low-frequency energy enhancement caused by mode competition between the dual modes.
