The dynamics of a semiconductor laser with delayed feedback are investigated on the basis of single-mode rate equations with retarded argument. Spontaneous emission in lasing mode, limited bandwidth of optoelectronic feedback and the presence of an impurity with saturable absorption are also taken into account. The existence of a hierarchy of multistable periodic attractors with different structures (slowly and rapidly oscillating ones) are found. Complex temporal structures: metastable chaotic regimes, quasiperiodic regimes and intermittency are obtained as a result of different bifurcations of multidimensional maps.
