Abstract
Coupled semiconductor lasers are systems possessing complex dynamics that are interesting for
numerous applications in photonics. In this work, we investigate the existence and the stability of
asymmetric phase-locked states of the fundamental active photonic dimer consisting of two coupled
lasers. We show that stable phase-locked states of arbitrary asymmetry exist for extended regions
of the parameter space of the system and that their field amplitude ratio and phase difference can
be dynamically controlled by appropriate current injection. The model includes the important
role of carrier density dynamics and shows that the phase-locked state asymmetry is related to
operation conditions providing, respectively, gain and loss in the two lasers
