Creating new stable periodic orbit by small region feedback control

In this paper an important problem in chaos control theory concerningthe possibility of generating a new stable periodic solutionby a small feedback control law for a dynamical system is addressed.It is proved that a solution with an initial point being somekind of non-wandering property can become a new asymptoticallystable solution by a small feedback control law. This showsthat the popular opinion that a small control law is not ableto create a new periodic point is untrue, and suggests a newapproach to controlling chaos.     

Optimal vibration control of flexible spacecraft during a minimum-time maneuver

This paper is concerned with the simultaneous maneuver and vibration control of a flexible spacecraft. The problem is solved by means of a perturbation approach whereby the slewing of the spacecraft regarded as rigid represents the zero-order problem and the control of vibration, as well as of perturbations from the rigid-body maneuver, represents the first-order problem. The zero-order control is to be carried out in minimum time, which implies bang-bang control. On the other hand, the first-order control is a time-dependent linear quadratic regulator including integral feedback and prescribed convergence rate.This research was sponsored by USAF/ASD and AFOSR Research Grant F33615-86-C-3233 monitored by Drs.

Electric field control of exciton states in quantum dot molecules

Semiconductor nanostructures have attracted considerable interest during the recent years in view of the potential application in quantum information processing. In particular, quantum dots have been suggested to fulfill an essential requirement for quantum computation: controllable interaction that couples two quantum dot qubits. Previous experiments on two vertically aligned quantum dots have demonstrated the formation of coupled exciton states. We show that this coupling between two In_0.60Ga_0.40As/GaAs quantum dots can be tuned by an electric field applied along the molecule axis. This controllable coupling in such a relatively simple configuration could be implemented in a solid-state-based quantum device.     

Delay-Dependent Criterion for Guaranteed Cost Control of Neutral Delay Systems

In this article, the guaranteed cost control problem for a class of neutral delay systems is investigated. A linear--quadratic cost function is considered as a performance measure for the closed-loop system. Based on the Lyapunov method, delay-dependent criteria, which are expressed in terms of matrix inequalities, are proposed to guarantee the asymptotic stability of the system. The matrix inequalities can be solved easily by various efficient optimization algorithms.     

Controllability properties of nonlinear behaviors

This paper proposes a topological framework for the analysis of the time shift on behaviors. It is shown that controllability is not a property of the time shift, while chain controllability is. This also leads to a global decomposition of behaviors.

     

Experiment Research on a Highly Stable LD-pumped Solid State Laser

In high power laser systems, the stability of the seed laser is vitally important. This paper presents the work on the design and manufacture of a highly stable LD pumped solid state seed laser which has the advantages of being all solid state, compact, easy to manufacture and low cost. The laser was composed of two parts. One was an LD pumped 0.5 mm thin Nd: YLF laser system in which the instability was around±6% (3σ). The other was a close-looped laser power control system using external cavity power feedback. Using an electro-optic modulator, a 1×2 optical fiber splitter and a signal processing circuit, we successfully realized the highly stable LD pumped Nd: YLF laser in which the instability of laser output power was lower than±0.2 %/hour (3σ). A digital PID (Proportion, Integration and Differentiation) control method was used with a control frequency of 40 kHz. The 3 mW of highly stable laser power through the optical fiber was obtained.
