Study of the Nonlinear Dynamics of a Traveling-Wave-Tube Oscillator with Delayed Feedback

We present the results of numerical simulations of the nonlinear dynamics of a traveling-wave-tube (TWT) oscillator with delayed feedback. Basic properties of stationary single-frequency oscillation regimes are considered, and the onset of self-modulation is studied in detail. Various route-to-chaos scenarios corresponding to successively increasing values of the beam current are simulated numerically. It is shown that the basic scenario is a quasi-periodic route to chaos, while the beam deceleration in strongly nonlinear regimes causes transitions via intermittency to regimes based on modes with higher frequencies. Competition between these two scenarios leads to a complex picture of regular and chaotic self-modulation regimes in the parameter space. Such a behavior is typical of distributed electron–wave self-excited oscillators with delayed feedback.     

Chaos and Hyperchaos in a Backward-Wave Oscillator

Based on a numerical solution of the equations of the nonstationary nonlinear theory, we study chaotic self-oscillation regimes in a backward-wave oscillator. For “weak” chaos, arising via a period-doubling cascade of self-modulation for moderate values of the normalized-length parameter, and for developed chaos, which corresponds to large values of this parameter, we present the temporal dependences of the output-signal amplitude, the phase portraits, and the statistical parameters of the dynamics. It is shown that developed chaos is characterized by the presence of more than one positive Lyapunov exponent (hyperchaos). We also present estimates of the Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy, the Lyapunov dimension, and the correlation dimension obtained from the Grassberger–Procaccia algorithm. The results confirm that a finite-dimensional strange attractor is responsible for the chaotic regimes in a backward-wave oscillator.

A memristive map with coexisting chaos and hyperchaos

By introducing a discrete memristor and periodic sinusoidal functions, a two-dimensional map with coexisting chaos and hyperchaos is constructed. Various coexisting chaotic and hyperchaotic attractors under different Lyapunov exponents are firstly found in this discrete map, along with which other regimes of coexistence such as coexisting chaos, quasi-periodic oscillation, and discrete periodic points are also captured. The hyperchaotic attractors can be flexibly controlled to be unipolar or bipolar by newly embedded constants meanwhile the amplitude can also be controlled in combination with those coexisting attractors. Based on the nonlinear auto-regressive model with exogenous inputs (NARX) for neural network, the dynamics of the memristive map is well predicted, which provides a potential passage in artificial intelligence-based applications.     

Oscillatory and Chaotic Buoyant-Thermocapillary Convection in the Large-Scale Liquid Bridge

To cooperate with Chinese TG-2 space experiment project, the transition process from steady to regular oscillatory flow, and finally to chaos is experimentally studied in buoyant-thermocapillary convection. The onset of oscillation and further transitional convective behavior are detected by measuring the temperature in large-scale liquid bridge of 2 cSt silicone oil. To identify the various dynamical regimes, the Fourier transform and fractal theory are used to reveal the frequency and amplitude characteristics of the flow motion. The experimental results indicate the co-existence of quasi-periodic and the Feigenbaum bifurcation in chaos.     

A coupled map lattice model for rheological chaos in sheared nematic liquid crystals

A variety of complex fluids under shear exhibit complex spatiotemporal behavior, including what is now termed rheological chaos, at moderate values of the shear rate. Such chaos associated with rheological response occurs in regimes where the Reynolds number is very small. It must thus arise as a consequence of the coupling of the flow to internal structural variables describing the local state of the fluid. We propose a coupled map lattice model for such complex spatiotemporal behavior in a passively sheared nematic liquid crystal using local maps constructed so as to accurately describe the spatially homogeneous case. Such local maps are coupled diffusively to nearest and next-nearest neighbors to mimic the effects of spatial gradients in the underlying equations of motion. We investigate the dynamical steady states obtained as parameters in the map and the strength of the spatial coupling are varied, studying local temporal properties at a single site as well as spatiotemporal features of the extended system. Our methods reproduce the full range of spatiotemporal behavior seen in earlier one-dimensional studies based on partial differential equations. We report results for both the one- and two-dimensional cases, showing that spatial coupling favors uniform or periodically time-varying states, as intuitively expected. We demonstrate and characterize regimes of spatiotemporal intermittency out of which chaos develops. Our work indicates that similar simplified lattice models of the dynamics of complex fluids under shear should provide useful ways to access and quantify spatiotemporal complexity in such problems, in addition to representing a fast and numerically tractable alternative to continuum representations.     

Transitions to chaos in intracavity parametric wave mixing

The complex dynamics of intracavity three-wave mixing are discussed. Detailed results obtained by numerical simulation of routes to chaos are presented for a wide range of parameters. As the pump intensity increases, a complex sequence of alternating regular and chaotic self-modulation regimes is observed. The relationship between these regimes and soliton formation and propagation is analyzed.     

Synchronization properties and effects of parameter mismatches in unidirectionally coupled chaotic vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers

We numerically investigate the effects of parameter mismatches on chaos synchronization in vertical-cavity surfaceemitting lasers (VCSELs). We assume injection-locked chaos synchronization in a unidirectionally coupled and openloop optical feedback system. The accuracy of chaos synchronization is greatly affected by the mismatches of the device parameters and operation conditions between the two lasers. In particular, the oscillation frequency of the laser is one of the important parameters in a system of injection-locked chaos synchronization. However, the variations of the device characteristics of VCSELs are very large compared with those of other types of semiconductor lasers. We study the effects of parameter mismatches related to the oscillation frequency of VCSELs on chaos synchronization. We proved that mismatches in terms of the birefringence and the injection current play crucial roles for the quality of chaos synchronization.     

A simple time-delay feedback anticontrol method made rigorous

An effective method of chaotification via time-delay feedback for a simple finite-dimensional continuous-time autonomous system is made rigorous in this paper. Some mathematical conditions are derived under which a nonchaotic system can be controlled to become chaotic, where the chaos so generated is in a rigorous mathematical sense of Li-Yorke in terms of the Marotto theorem. Numerical simulations are given to verify the theoretical analysis.     

Longitudinal mode competition in semiconductor lasers under optical feedback: Regime of short-external cavity

This paper introduces a theoretical study of longitudinal mode competition in semiconductor lasers subject to optical feedback. The study is based on a model of time-delay multimode rate equations taking into account both symmetric and asymmetric suppressions of modal gain. The model is numerically solved and applied to the case of a short-external cavity. Mode competition is characterized along the feedback-induced period-doubling route to chaos as well as under chaotic dynamics. Contributions of symmetric and asymmetric gain suppressions to both mode dynamics and modal operation under OFB are clarified. The results show that under chaotic dynamics, mode competition induces multimode hopping giving rise to asymmetric multimode output spectra. In regimes of continuous-wave operation, mode competition supports single-mode oscillation, and the side-mode suppression ratio improves with the increase of feedback. In the regime of strong feedback, the lasing mode moves to either long- or short-wavelength side in a seemingly random fashion, which is strongly related to asymmetric gain suppression.     

Experimental study of complex dynamics in a delayed-feedback multiple-cavity klystron self-oscillator

The main characteristics of a delayed-feedback multiple-cavity klystron oscillator with various oscillation modes (single-frequency oscillations, as well as regular and chaotic self-modulations) are studied experimentally. Maps of dynamic modes on the beam current-accelerating voltage plane are presented. Basic scenarios of transition to chaos are considered. As the beam current and amount of feedback increase, regular and chaotic oscillation modes are found to alternate in a complex manner. It is shown that one can significantly increase the power of chaotic oscillations by appropriately tuning the control parameters.     

Dynamical chaos for a limited power supply for fluid oscillations in cylindrical tanks

Forced oscillations of the fluid surface in a cylindrical tank due to interaction with the excitation mechanism of a limited power supply (so-called “limited excitation” phenomena) are investigated in detail. On the basis of analysis of the largest Lyapunov exponents for a complex system—a tank with fluid and an excitation arrangement—the three types of steady-state regimes are found: equilibrium positions, periodic and chaotic regimes. Phase portraits, Poincaré sections and maps, distributions of spectral densities and invariant measures are constructed and thoroughly studied. Attention is concentrated mainly on the properties of chaotic attractors and schemes of transition from “order” to chaos. It is established that different scenarios of transition to chaos and various structures of chaotic attractors are possible in the same physical system. The new scenario transition to chaos which generalizes scenario of Pomeau-Manneville is revealed. It is shown that chaotic regimes with the single-mode fluid free surface oscillations can originate only due to interaction with the excitation mechanism.

Extreme events in the Ti:sapphire laser

We report experimental and theoretical evidence of the existence of extreme value events in the form of scarce and randomly emerging giant pulses in the femtosecond (self-pulsing or Kerr-lens mode-locked) Ti:sapphire laser. This laser displays complex dynamical behavior, including deterministic chaos, in two different regimes. The extreme value pulses are observed in the chaotic state of only one of these two regimes. The observations agree with the predictions of a well-tested theoretical model that does not include noise or self-Q-switching into its framework. This implies that, in this laser, the extreme effects have a nontrivial dynamical origin. The Ti:sapphire laser is hence revealed as a new and convenient system for the study of these effects.

Quasiperiodicity involving twin oscillations in the complex Lorenz equations describing a detuned laser

Quasiperiodical motion in the complex Lorenz equations describing a detuned laser is shown to consist of twin oscillations: the first oscillation originates from Hopf bifurcation and the second is a parastic oscillation of the first one. Equations for the twin asymptotic oscillations are analytically derived in the center manifold, showing explicitly the parastic property of the second oscillation: its frequency is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the first one. The phase of the second oscillation shows also certainanholonomy which is very similar to the characteristics of Berry's phase. Numerical results show further that the first oscillation follows the sequence of bifurcations from simple periodic through period-doubling to chaos, as one continuously increases the control parameter, whereas the frequency of the parastic oscillation does not change qualitatively during the bifurcation process.     

Bifurcation and locking in an multi-quantum-well laser subjected to external injection

Bifurcation and dynamic stability as well as locking in an external light injection multi-quantum-well (MQW) laser are studied. Different dynamic regimes in locking diagram are analyzed with the injection level and frequency detuning. Bifurcate behavior is numerically simulated via the external injection light intensity, frequency detuning, current, linewidth enhance factor, photon loss rate and carrier loss rate, respectively. And the route to chaos from bifurcation, period-doubling and quasi-period are described by numerical analysis. A perturbation equation of four-dimension model and the bifurcation condition are demonstrated. Dynamic stability of the laser is theoretically and numerically analyzed. The bifurcate expression is theoretically given while the maximum locking frequency domain is given. The variational characteristic of the oscillation frequency in the self-pulse regimes versus the injection and detuning are numerically analyzed to find that the relaxation frequency is reduced with adding the detuning in the smaller detuning or with adding the injection in the smaller injection while the relaxation frequency will be increased with adding the detuning in the larger detuning or with adding the injection in the larger injection. We find also that the chaotic spectra are broadened with adding the detuning or narrowed with adding the injection or the current.     

Dynamical study and control of drift waves in a magnetized laboratory plasma

The various dynamical regimes of collisional drift waves in a magnetized plasma column are experimentally studied. These unstable low-frequency electrostatic waves are related with strong modulations of the ion and electron density. The angular velocity of the rotating plasma column is the control parameter of the dynamics: regular, chaotic and turbulent regimes are obtained. The spatial extension of the system allows for the occurrence of spatiotemporal chaos. The time-delay auto-synchronization method of controlling chaos [K. Pyragas, Phys. Lett. A 170, 421 (1992)] though purely temporal is successfully applied. A numerical study using coupled nonlinear oscillators exhibiting chaos is compared to the experimental results. The control method is tested on this model.
