✦ Synopsis

The frequency spectrum and the power output of a weakly optically-injected semiconductor laser in a period-one state are investigated. It is found that the oscillations in the power output consist of three components each caused by different physical effects, namely the relaxation oscillation frequency, the detuning between master and the slave laser frequency and the photon roundtrip time. For each set of parameters the spatio-temporal dynamics are obtained and the same internal oscillations occur.
