Entropic stochastic resonance in a confined structure driven by dichotomous noise and white noises

The entropic stochastic resonance(ESR) in a confined system subjected to dichotomous noise and white noise and driven by a periodic sinusoidal force along the x axis of the structure and a time-dependent force in the declining direction,is investigated.Under the adiabatic approximation condition and based on the two-state theory,the expression of the output signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) is obtained.The results show that the SNR is a non-monotonic function of the strengths of dichotomous noise,white noise,and correlated strength of correlated noise.In addition,the SNR varies non-monotonically with the increase of the shape parameters of the confined structure,and also with the increase of the constant force along the y axis of the structure.The influence of the correlation rate of the dichotomous noise,and that of the frequency of the periodic force on the SNR are discussed.     

Stochastic Resonance in Linear Region of a Single-Mode Laser： Effects of Amplitude Modulation of Signal

A single-mode laser noise model driven by quadratic colored pump noise and amplitude modulation signal is proposed. The real and imaginary parts of the pump noise are assumed to be cross-correlation. The effect of cross-correlation of noise and amplitude modulation of signal on laser statistical properties is studied by using the linearized approximation. The analytic expression of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is calculated. It is found that the phenomena of stochastic resonance (SR) respectively exist in the curves of the SNR versus the noise cross-correlation coefficient λ and the SNR versus the pump parameter a, as well as the SNR versus the signal frequency ω in our model. It is shown that there are three different typies of SR in the model: the conventional form of SR, the SR in the broad sense, and the bona fide SR.     

Stochastic Resonance of a Periodically Driven Bistable System with Two Different Kinds of Time Delays

In this paper, we study the phenomenon of stochastic resonance (SR) in a periodically driven bistable system with correlations between multiplicative and additive white noise terms when there are two different kinds of time delays existed in the deterministic and fluctuating forces, respectively. Using the small time delay approximation and the theory of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the adiabatic limit, the expression of SNR is obtained. The effects ofthe delay time τ in the deterministic force, and the delay time θ in the fluctuating force on SNR are discussed. Based on the numerical computation, it is found that: (i) There appears a reentrant transition between one peak and two peaks and then to one peak again in the curve of SNR when the value of the time delay θ is increased. (ii) SR can be realized by tuning thetime delay τ or θ with fixed noise, i.e., delay-inducedstochastic resonance (DSR) exists.     

Stochastic resonance in a stochastic bistable system subject to additive white noise and dichotomous noise

The stochastic resonance (SR) in a stochastic stable system driven by a static force and a periodic square-wave signal as well as by additive white noise and dichotomous noise is considered from the point of view of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). It is found that the SNR exhibits SR behavior when it is plotted as a function of the noise strength of the white noise and dichotomous noise, as well as when plotted as a function of the static force. Moreover, the influence of the strength of the stochastic potential force and the correlation rate of the dichotomous noise is investigated.     

Stochastic resonance of bias signal-modulated noise in a single-mode laser＊

Stochastic resonance (SR) for bias signal modulation is studied in a single-mode laser system. By investigating a gain-noise model driven by correlated pump noise and quantum noise, we find that, whether the correlation coefficient between both the noises is positive or negative, SR always appears in the dependence of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) upon the noise correlation time and the frequency of the modulation signal. However, only when the correlation coefficient between both noises is negative can SR occur in the dependence of SNR upon the quantum noise intensity and pump noise intensity, while when the correlation coefficient between both noises is positive, it shows monotonically.

Effects of time delay on stochastic resonance of a periodically driven linear system with multiplicative and periodically modulated additive white noises

Stochastic resonance (SR) of a periodically driven time-delayed linear system with multiplicative white noise and periodically modulated additive white noise is investigated. In the condition of small delay time, an approximate analytical expression of output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is obtained. The analytical results indicate that (1) there exists a resonance peak in the curve for SNR versus time delay; (2) the time delay will suspend the SR dramatically for SNR versus other parameters of the system, such as noise intensity, correlation intensity, and signal frequency, once a certain value is reached, the SR phenomenon disappears.     

Entropic stochastic resonance: the constructive role of the unevenness

We demonstrate the existence of stochastic resonance (SR) in confined systems arising from entropy variations associated to the presence of irregular boundaries. When the motion of a Brownian particle is constrained to a region with uneven boundaries, the presence of a periodic input may give rise to a peak in the spectral amplification factor and therefore to the appearance of the SR phenomenon. We have proved that the amplification factor depends on the shape of the region through which the particle moves and that by adjusting its characteristic geometric parameters one may optimize the response of the system. The situation in which the appearance of such entropic stochastic resonance (ESR) occurs is common for small-scale systems in which confinement and noise play an prominent role. The novel mechanism found could thus constitute an important tool for the characterization of these systems and can put to use for controlling their basic properties.     

Stochastic resonance in finite arrays of bistable elements with local coupling

In this article, we investigate the stochastic resonance (SR) effect in a finite array of noisy bistable systems with nearest-neighbor coupling driven by a weak time-periodic driving force. The array is characterized by a collective variable. By means of numerical simulations, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the gain are estimated as functions of the noise and the interaction coupling strength. A strong enhancement of the SR phenomenon for this collective variable in comparison with SR in single unit bistable systems is observed. Gains larger than unity are obtained for some parameter values and multi-frequency driving forces, indicating that the system is operating in a non-linear regime albeit the smallness of the driving amplitude. The large SNR values observed are basically due to the fact that the output fluctuations are small and short lived, in comparison with their typical values in a linear regime. A non-monotonic behavior of the SNR with the coupling strength is also obtained.     

Entropic stochastic resonance in a confined asymmetrical bistable system with non-Gaussian noise

Particles moving in confined regions with bistable potential driven by weak signal and fluctuations may present a similar stochastic resonance (SR). This similar SR is called entropic stochastic resonance (ESR). The phenomenon of ESR in a confined asymmetrical bistable potential driven by a transverse periodic force is investigated when a non-Gaussian fluctuation is considered in the system. The left potential of the bistable system can be adjusted by introducing the asymmetrical ratio α. By the functional analysis and two-state theory, the approximate Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) is derived. It is found that there is a global maximum in the SNR curves when the asymmetrical ratio α and the noise intensity D are changed. It is also shown that the noise correlation time τ will suppress the ESR of the system and the departure q can obviously change the position of peak in the SNR. The above clues are helpful in achieving weak signal detection under irregular, small-scale systems.     

Stochastic resonance in a bistable system with coloured correlation between additive and multiplicative noise

The phenomenon of stochastic resonance (SR) in a bistable nonlinear system with coupling between additive and multiplicative noises is investigated when the correlation between two noise terms is coloured. It is found that the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the system is affected not only by the coupling strength λ between two noise terms, but also by the noise correlation time τ. The SNR is changed from a single peak, to two peaks with a dip, and then to a monotonically decreasing function with noise strength. The dependence of the SR on the initial conditions is entirely caused by the coupling strength λ between two noise terms.

Influence of the net gain on characteristic of stochastic resonance in a single-mode laser system

The phenomenon of stochastic resonance (SR) is found in a single-mode laser system driven by the colored pump noise with signal modulation and the quantum noise with cross-correlation between the real and imaginary parts. When the net gain a0 changes, it is found that, 1) the shape of the curve of the signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) versus the pump noise self-correlation time T exhibits a changing process of multiform SR, from single-peak SR to simultaneous existence of resonances and suppressions; 2) the curve of SNR versus signal frequency Ω experiences a complicated changing process from the monotonous descending to the simultaneous appearances of a maximum and a minimum, and finally to monotonous descending; 3)the curve of SNR versus cross-correlation coefficient between the real and imaginary parts of the quantum noise λq appears an acute single-peak SR. Therefore, the net gain a0 greatly influences the characteristic of SR of laser system.

Stochastic resonance in single-mode semiconductor lasers

Owing to the considerable virtues of semiconductor lasers for applications, they have become the main optical source for fiber communication systems recently. The behavior of stochastic resonance (SR) in direct-modulated semiconductor laser systems is investigated in this article. Considering the carrier and photon noises and the cross-correlation between the two noises, the power spectrum of the photon density and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the modulated laser system were calculated using the linear approximation method. We found that the SR always appears in the dependence of the SNR upon the bias current density, and is strongly affected by the cross-correlation coefficient of the carrier and photon noises, the frequency of modulation signal and the photon lifetime in the laser cavity. Hence, it is promising to use the SR mechanism to enhance the SNR of direct-modulated semiconductor laser systems and improve the quality of optical communication.     

Stochastic Resonance in a Linear Fractional Langevin Equation

The fractional Langevin equation is derived from the generalized Langevin equation driven by the additive fractional Gaussian noise. We investigate the stochastic resonance (SR) phenomenon in the underdamped linear fractional Langevin equation under the external periodic force and multiplicative symmetric dichotomous noise. Applying the Shapiro-Loginov formula and the Laplace transform technique, we obtain the exact expressions of the amplitude and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the system. By studying the impacts of the driving frequency and the noise parameters, we find the non-monotonic behaviors of the output amplitude and SNR. The results indicate that the bona fide SR, conventional SR and the wide sense of SR phenomena occur in the proposed linear fractional system.     

Influences of noise correlation and time delay on stochastic resonance induced by multiplicative signal in a cancer growth system

This paper investigates the stochastic resonance (SR) phenomenon induced by the multiplicative periodic signal in a cancer growth system with the cross-correlated noises and time delay. To describe the periodic change of the birth rate due to the periodic treatment, a multiplicative periodic signal is added to the system. Under the condition of small delay time, the analytical expression of the signal-to-noise ratio R_{\rm SNR} is derived in the adiabatic limit. By numerical calculation, the effects of the cross-correlation strength \lambda and the delay time \tau on R_{\rm SNR} are respectively discussed. The existence of a peak in the curves of R_{\rm SNR} as a function of the noise intensities indicates the occurrence of the SR phenomenon. It is found that \lambda and \tau play opposite role on the SR phenomenon, i.e., the SR is suppressed by increasing \lambda whereas it is enhanced with the increase of \tau, which is different from the case where the periodic signal is additive.     

Stochastic multi-resonance in an overdamped bistable system with two types of modulation signal

The stochastic resonance (SR) phenomenon in an overdamped bistable system with multiplicative and additive noise is investigated. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is calculated when two types of modulation signal are added to the system. The effects of the intensities, the frequencies and relative phase shift of two types of modulation signal on the SNR are discussed, respectively. Research results show that: (i) the intensities of two types of modulation signal can enhance the maximum in the SNR as a function of the noise intensity, and the frequencies can restrain it; (ii) the additive modulation signal can enhance the maximum in the SNR as a function of the noise intensity in comparison with the multiplicative modulation signal; (iii) when both modulation frequencies are equal, the SNR as a function of the relative phase shift exhibits multiple maxima. The multiple maxima in the SNR identifies the characteristic of the stochastic multi-resonance phenomenon.     

Entropic Resonant Activation and StochasticResonance Driven by Non-Gaussian Noise

The transition rate and stochastic resonance (SR) of a Brownian particle moving in a confined system under the presence of entropic barriers are investigated when the system is driven by non-Gaussian noise. The explicit expressions of the transition rate and the spectral power amplification (SPA) are obtained, respectively. The effects of the parameter q indicating the departure from the Gaussian noise and the correlation timeτ of the non-Gaussian noise on the transition rate and the SPA are discussed. Research results show that: (i) The transition rate as a function of the noise strength exhibits a maximum. This maximum for transition rate identifies the phenomenon of entropic resonant activation (ERA), the parameter q and the noise correlation timeτ weaken the ERA of the system; (ii) The curves of SPA appear a transition from one peak to double-peak, and then to one peak again as the noise correlation timeτ of non-Gaussian noise increases.
