Chaotic breathers in delayed electro-optical systems.

We show that in integro-differential delayed dynamical systems, a hybrid state of simultaneous fast-scale chaos and slow-scale periodicity can emerge subsequently to a sequence of Hopf bifurcations. The resulting time trace thereby consists in chaotic oscillations "breathing" periodically at a significantly lower frequency. Experimental evidence of this type of dynamics in delayed dynamical systems is achieved with a Mach-Zehnder modulator optically fed by a semiconductor laser and is subjected to a delayed nonlinear electro-optical feedback. We also propose a theoretical understanding of the phenomenon.

Effect of parameter mismatch on the synchronization of chaotic semiconductor lasers with electro-optical feedback.

We investigate the detrimental effects of parameter mismatch on the synchronization of semiconductor lasers with electro-optical feedback, whose intensity dynamics can display a hyperchaotic behavior. Analytical techniques are developed to study the statistical properties of the synchronization error as a function of the various types of mismatches. The multiple mismatch case, which is of high experimental interest, is also studied and some compensation conditions allowing the improvement of the synchronization are derived. The analytical predictions are confirmed by numerical simulations and by some experimental measurements.

Transitions from spatiotemporal chaos to cluster and complete synchronization states in a shift-invariant set of coupled nonlinear oscillators.

We study the spatiotemporal dynamics of a ring of diffusely coupled single-well Duffing oscillators. The transitions from spatiotemporal chaos to cluster and complete synchronization states are particularly investigated, as well as the Hopf bifurcations to instability. It is found that the underlying mechanism of these transitions relies on the motion of the representative points corresponding to the system's nondegenerated spatial transverse Fourier modes in the parametric Strutt diagram. A scaling law is used to demonstrate that the compact interval of the scalar coupling parameter values leading to cluster synchronization broadens in a square-power-like fashion as the number of oscillators is increased. The analytical approach is confirmed by numerical simulations.

Optimization and stability boundaries for the synchronization of semiconductor lasers with external optical feedback.

We perform a stability and optimization analysis for the synchronization of unidirectionally coupled external-cavity semiconductor lasers. Using rigorous stability criteria, we qualitatively derive the boundaries of the high-quality synchronization basin. The underlying influence of Hopf bifurcations on the stability of the synchronization manifold is also investigated.

Generalized correlated states in a ring of coupled nonlinear oscillators with a local injection.

In this paper, we study the spatiotemporal dynamics of a ring of diffusely coupled nonlinear oscillators. Floquet theory is used to investigate the various dynamical states of the ring, as well as the Hopf bifurcations between them. A local injection scheme is applied to synchronize the ring with an external master oscillator. The shift-invariance symmetry is thereby broken, leading to the emergence of generalized correlated states. The transition boundaries from these correlated states to spatiotemporal chaos and complete synchronization are also derived. Numerical simulations are performed to support the analytic approach.

Stability and optimal parameters for continuous feedback chaos control.

We investigate the conditions under which an optimal continuous feedback control can be achieved. Chaotic oscillations in the single-well Duffing model, with either a positive or a negative nonlinear stiffness term, are tuned to their related Ritz approximation. The Floquet theory enables the stability analysis of the control. Critical values of the feedback control coefficient fulfilling the optimization criteria are derived. The influence of the chosen target orbit, of the feedback coefficient, and of the onset time of control on its duration is discussed. The analytic approach is confirmed by numerical simulations.
