Abstract
We propose a delay-differential equation to model dynamical instabilities in a quantum dot laser. We focus on a laser with a small gain section and a long empty section. A long cavity reduces the strong damping of the relaxation oscillation frequency. It leads to the appearance of dropouts at the delay period, which evolve to chaos.
