Abstract: This paper reviews our recent research on nonlinear dynamics of microchip solid-state lasers subjected to delayed optical feedback. Instabilities in two types of physical systems including multimode lasers with feedback and lasers with frequency-shifted feedback are discussed. Applications of microchip lasers with feedback to shot-noise-limited self-mixing optical sensing and imaging are summarized.
