Phase-locked solutions are found numerically in a semiconductor laser with one and two external cavities. Different periodic, quasiperiodic, chaotic, and steady-state regimes form Arnold's tongues in bi-dimensional parameter spaces of the length and feedback strengths of the external cavities and the pump parameter. This rich structure gives additional possibility for controlling complex dynamics and chaos in a semiconductor laser with external cavities by properly adjusting their lengths and feedback strengths.
