We present here a brief overview of the main topics studied in the Institute for Cross Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems (IFISC) within the context of semiconductor laser dynamics. In particular we study nonlinear effects and chaos in edge emitting lasers, feedback and delay effects, dynamics of coupled lasers and multimode dynamics in ring cavity lasers, with the perspective of possible applications in information and communication technologies.
