Subharmonic bifurcations, generalized multistability, and chaotic behavior were found experimentally in a $Q$-switched C${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ laser operating at 10.6 \ensuremath{\mu}m. Jumps between two strange attractors lead to low-frequency ($\frac{1}{f}$ type) divergence the power spectrum. This is first experimental evidence of these phenomena quantum-optical molecular system. A theoretical model also presented whose results are good agreement with data.
The refractive indices of E7 liquid-crystal mixture were measured at six visible and two infrared (λ=1.55 10.6μm) wavelengths different temperatures, using Abbe wedged cell refractometer methods, respectively. experimental data the fit extended Cauchy equations well. Using equations, we can extrapolate to IR. extrapolated results almost strike through data. Thus, be used link infrared, where index measurements are more difficult.

The ability to see behind flames is a key challenge for the industrial field and particularly safety field. Development of new technologies detect live people through smoke in fire scenes an extremely desirable goal since it can save human lives. latest technologies, including equipment adopted by departments, use infrared bolometers digital cameras that allow users smoke. However, such detectors are blinded flame-emitted radiation. Here we show completely different approach makes lensless...
A nonlinear system with delayed feedback, whenever the delay time is much longer than intrinsic correlation time, displays two widely separated scales. In such a case, two-dimensional representation becomes appropriate, because it discloses features otherwise hidden in one-dimensional sequence of data, and allows use recognition algorithms developed for spatiotemporal chaos. As an illustration, chaotic sequences from single-mode laser feedback are analyzed using this representation.
The dynamical regime of a single mode laser with modulated losses in the chaotic parameter range has been stabilized over one periodic orbits contained within strange attractor by controlling phase small perturbation forcing term. Numerical solutions theoretical model show good agreement experiment and provide size stability windows space.
We revisit the laser model with cavity loss modulation, from which evidence of chaos and generalized multistability was discovered in 1982. Multistability refers to coexistence two or more attractors nonlinear dynamical systems. Despite its relative simplicity, adopted shows us how depends on dissipation system. The is then tested under action a secondary sinusoidal perturbation, can remove bistability when suitable phase chosen. surviving attractor one less dissipation. This control...
Homoclinic chaos is characterized by regular geometric orbits occurring at erratic times. Phase synchronization the average repetition frequency achieved a tiny periodic modulation of control parameter. An experiment has been carried on CO(2) laser with feedback, set in parameter range where homoclinic occurs. Any offset from induces phase slips over long Perfect recovered slow changes based upon sign and amplitude slip rate. Satellite regimes are also realized, variable numbers spikes per...
Successive transitions from Hopf bifurcation to Shilnikov chaos and eventually regular spiking are observed in a laser with feedback on increase of control parameter. Each one these regimes is due the dominant attraction at time among three coexisting unstable fixed points. Hence, each situation has global behavior sufficiently described by attribution major part return single point.
Self-pulsing and deterministic chaos is observed in a single-mode, homogeneous-line, ${\mathrm{CO}}_{2}$ laser with an overall negative feedback, when the damping constant of feedback loop same order as population decay rate. This represents fundamental limitation general use schemes high-stability applications. A theoretical model shown to yield results good agreement experimental ones, thus confirming simple structure associated phase space.

We investigate the transition route to phase synchronization in a chaotic laser with external modulation. Such is characterized by presence of regime periodic synchronization, which slips occur maximal coherence difference between output signal and provide first experimental evidence such demonstrate that it occurs at crossover point two different scaling laws intermittent-type behavior slips.
In a laser with delayed feedback operating in an oscillatory regime, phase defects appear for delays longer than the oscillation period. These are visualized by rearranging data two-dimensional representation. Two distinct disordered phases observed, one of weak turbulence characterized fluctuations, and highly developed constant density defects. The transition between two regimes is analyzed studying dependence defect lifetime on delay. experimental findings modeled via generalized Landau...
We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically the existence of slow chaotic spiking sequences in dynamics a semiconductor laser with ac-coupled optoelectronic feedback. The timescale these is fully determined by high-pass filter feedback loop their erratic, though deterministic, nature evidenced means interspike interval (ISI) probability distribution. eventually show that this regime result an incomplete homoclinic scenario to saddle-focus, where exact connection does not occur.
Controlling chaos is a process wherein an unstable periodic orbit embedded in chaotic attractor stabilized by means of tiny perturbations the system. These imply goal oriented feedback techniques which act either on state variables system or control parameters. We review some theoretical schemes and experimental implementations for chaos.
Phase-control techniques of chaos aim to extract periodic behaviors from chaotic systems by applying weak harmonic perturbations with a suitably chosen phase. However, little is known about the best strategy for selecting adequate reach desired states.
