چکیده
Title of dissertation: DELAY INDUCED INSTABILITIES IN COUPLED SEMICONDUCTOR LASERS AND MACKEY-GLASS ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS Min-Young Kim, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation directed by: Professor Rajarshi Roy Department of Physics We describe two experimental systems where a time-delayed feedback mechanism plays an important role in inducing instabilities. The first system consists of two cross-coupled semiconductor lasers with time-delayed negative optoelectronic feedback. This system is described by coupled delay-differential equations, and we explore the dynamics near the onset of oscillations as the coupling strength is varied. We study the influence of asymmetric coupling strengths on the onset of oscillations and the dependence of the amplitudes of oscillations on the coupling strengths. Inphase oscillations with a period of twice the delay time emerge as the product of coupling strengths increases above a critical value. A scaling relationship is observed between rescaled amplitudes of oscillations and the product of the coupling strengths. We also study the dependence of the periodicity and the phase relations of the oscillations as we adjust the delay time. The second system is an electronic circuit with time-delayed nonlinear feedback which simulates the Mackey-Glass model described by a delay-differential equation. First we study the dynamics of the Mackey-Glass system in various parameter regimes and then we study the synchronization of two unidirectionally coupled Mackey-Glass circuits. The change of the quality of the synchronization with parameter mismatch as well as bandwidth limitations in the transmission channel is investigated. With a low pass filter in the transmission line, we find that the inclusion of the dominant frequency component of the original driver signals is crucial to achieve synchronization between the driver and receiver circuits, both numerically and experimentally.

Chaos synchronization and spontaneous symmetry-breaking in symmetrically delay-coupled semiconductor lasers.
We present experimental and numerical investigations of the dynamics of two device-identical, optically coupled semiconductor lasers exhibiting a delay in the coupling. Our results give evidence for subnanosecond coupling-induced synchronized chaotic dynamics in conjunction with a spontaneous symmetry-breaking: we find a well-defined time lag between the dynamics of the two lasers, and an asymm...

متن کاملSynchronization of delay-coupled oscillators: a study of semiconductor lasers.
Two delay-coupled semiconductor lasers are studied in the regime where the coupling delay is comparable to the time scales of the internal laser oscillations. Detuning the optical frequency between the two lasers, novel delay-induced scenarios leading from optical frequency locking to successive states of periodic intensity pulsations are observed. We demonstrate and analyze these dynamical phe...

During the past few years, a lot of work has been done on behavioral models and simulation tools. But a need for modeling strategy still remains. The VHDL-AMS language supports the description of analog electronic circuits using Ordinary Differential Algebraic Equations (ODAEs), in addition to its support for describing discrete-event systems. For VHDL-AMS to be useful to the analog design ...
