AB - We use an asymptotic method to simplify the rate equations for a semiconductor laser subject to filtered optical feedback. The simplified equations provide insights on the physical mechanisms involved in two different oscillatory instabilities, namely: relaxation oscillation undamping, and the onset of optical frequency oscillations. We proceed to an analytical stability analysis of the external cavity modes and determine simple scaling laws for their stability boundaries in parameter space. We also point out a couple of remarkable properties of the frequency oscillation regime; in particular, we draw analogies with a related dynamical response predicted for semiconductor lasers subject to both conventional feedback and optical injection.
