We observe experimentally and numerically novel mixed-mode dynamic states of a diode laser subject to two delayed optical feedbacks. These have been proposed analyzed within the framework Lang–Kobayashi single-feedback model. Such are combinations distinct external cavity modes can be identified through characteristic sequence Hopf bifurcation followed by secondary quasi-periodic bifurcation. present experimental numerical results that demonstrate such sequences.
