The results show that the nonlinear phase shift caused by SPM has an impact on the gain and bandwidth enhancement factor of the laser. The second-order nonlinear effect of the fiber enriches the variety of the amplitudes and phases of the laser while the nonlinear phase shift produces a number of new frequencies, which can spread the bandwidth. Numerical results reveal that with the SPM effect, the bandwidth can be enhanced 4 times more than the bandwidth without it, and the relaxation oscillation frequency of the chaotic laser is increased to 2.56 times more than that of the laser without the fiber path. The enhancement of the chaotic bandwidth can be extended by increasing the optical fiber length, the coupling-feedback ratio, the mirror reflectance and the second order nonlinear coefficient affect.展开更多
