In this contribution, we perform a detailed study of the effect of electromagnetic induction on the dynamical behavior of laser diode modeled by novel single-mode four-dimensional rate equations. Memristor is used to describe electromagnetic induction effect. As result, the obtained model is equilibrium free thus displays hidden dynamics. Consequently, Shilnikov method is not suitable to explain the chaos mechanism in the introduced laser model. Furthermore, there is no heteroclinic nor homoclinic orbit. Based on numerical simulations, we found that the laser model displays hidden dynamics including period doubling bifurcation, multistability (with three different stable states) and crisis phenomena when the electromagnetic strength is varied. The circuit emulator of laser model investigated in this paper has been designed in the Pspice environment to further support numerical results.
