Multistability and Chaos in a Semiconductor Microwave Device with Time–Delay Feedback
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a tunable microwave device consisting of a Gunn diode with time–delay feedback, which will emit chaotic microwaves. The wavelength is controlled by two incident laser beams which trigger moving multiple Gunn domains. Predicted phenomena include the coexistence of stationary and chaotic states, complicated hysteresis loops, and persistent bistabiliy. This device is potentially useful for applications such as secure microwave communications, memory devices and those involving photorefractive effects.

Multistability in a semiconductor laser with optoelectronic feedback.
The multistability in a single-mode distributed feedback semiconductor laser with delayed optoelectronic feedback is observed experimentally. For a given delay time, the observed dynamical state of the laser output is critically dependent on the process of varying the delay time and is limited by the range of variation. Various routes of delay time variation results in multistabilities characte...
متن کاملDelay-Induced Multistability Near a Global bifurcation
We study the effect of a time-delayed feedback within a generic model for a saddle-node bifurcation on a limit cycle. Without delay the only attractor below this global bifurcation is a stable node. Delay renders the phase space infinite-dimensional and creates multistability of periodic orbits and the fixed point. Homoclinic bifurcations, period-doubling and saddle-node bifurcations of limit c...

By studying the autocorrelation function of the optoelectronic feedback semiconductor laser output we establish that the signatures of time delays can be erased in systems incorporating modulated feedback time delays. This property is of importance for the suitability of such laser systems for secure chaos-based communication systems. We also make the first report on chaos synchronization in bo...
متن کاملSynchronization properties of network motifs: influence of coupling delay and symmetry.
We investigate the effect of coupling delays on the synchronization properties of several network motifs. In particular, we analyze the synchronization patterns of unidirectionally coupled rings, bidirectionally coupled rings, and open chains of Kuramoto oscillators. Our approach includes an analytical and semianalytical study of the existence and stability of different in-phase and out-of-phas...
متن کاملChaotic dynamics of a frequency-modulated microwave oscillator with time-delayed feedback.
We present a chaotic frequency-modulated microwave source that is governed by a simple, first-order nonlinear delay differential equation. When a sinusoidal nonlinearity is incorporated, the dynamical behaviors range from fixed-point to periodic to chaotic, depending on the feedback strength. When the sinusoidal nonlinearity is replaced by a binary nonlinearity, the system exhibits a complex pe...
