This method is applicable to experimental situations in which a priori analytical knowledge of the system is not available[2,3]. Their method assumes the dynamics of the system can be represented as arising from a nonlinear map (e.g., a return map). The iterates are then given by Xn+1 = F(Xn,p), where p is some accessible parameter of the system. To control chaotic dynamics one only needs to learn the local dynamics around the desired unstable periodic orbit (e.g., a fixed point Xn=XF) on the nonlinear map : especially, the derivatives with respect to p of the orbit location. When the motion is near the periodic orbit(Xn#XF), small appropriate temporal perturbations of the control parameter p allow to hold the motion on its unstable periodic orbits.","PeriodicalId":441335,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Dynamics in Optical Systems","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126955908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, although the data have been shown to display unambiguous features of deterministic chaos, the understanding of the nature and the origin of the observed behavior has been incomplete. In 1976, Rössler suggested an intuitive interpretation to explain chemical chaos. His feeling was that nonperiodic wandering trajectories might arise in chemical systems from a pleated slow manifold (Fig. 1a), if the flow on the lower surface of the pleat had the property of returning trajectories to a small neighborhood of an unstable focus lying on the upper surface. In this communication, we intend to revisit the terminology introduced by Rössler of “spiral-type”, “screw-type” and “funnel-type” strange attractors in terms of chaotic orbits that occur in nearly homoclinic conditions. According to a theorem by Shil’nikov, there exist uncountably many nonperiodic trajectories in systems which display a homoclinic orbit biasymptotic to a saddle-focus O, providing the following condition is fulfilled: ρ/λ < 1, where the eigenvalue of O are (−λ, ρ ± iω). This subset of chaotic trajectories is actually in one to one correspondance with a shift automorphism with an infinite number of symbols. Since homoclinic orbits are structurally unstable objects which lie on codimension-one hypersurfaces in the constraint space, one can reasonably hope to cross these hypersurfaces when following a one-parameter path. The bifurcation structure encountered near homoclinicity involves infinite sequences of saddle-node and period-doubling bifurcations. The aim of this paper is to provide numerical and experimental evidences for Shil’nikov homoclinic chaos in nonequilibrium chemical systems.","PeriodicalId":441335,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Dynamics in Optical Systems","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126582491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These are dissipative systems, and it has been usual in their study to assume that dissipation rates are, in some sense, large compared with the coupling strength between the atoms and the field. Recent work has shown that interesting new dynamical behavior occurs when this is not so. For example, spontaneous emission linewidths can be altered,1,2 and if the coupling is very strong, an emission line can be split into a pair of resonances identified with the normal- mode frequencies of coupled oscillators describing the atomic polarization and the cavity field.3.4 Altered linewidths and normal-mode splitting are features of weak excitation; both are explained by a coupled damped harmonic oscillator model. In this paper we report new results obtained for strong excitation.","PeriodicalId":441335,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Dynamics in Optical Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131113145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The design of the whole structure is such that a good cavity finesse and a high contrast in the reflective mode are simultaneously obtained. This results in a bistability power threshold of less than 3 mW at 838 nm and a contrast ratio as high as 30:1. A new method is proposed, which allows to measure the nonlinear refractive index in a quasi-continuous regime, and in the operating conditions for bistability. The nonlinear index is shown to saturate at higher power, which evidences the need of a good cavity finesse for such bistable devices. Memory effect is then demonstrated: the sample can stay in either of its two stable states for more than 1 ms without spontaneously switching, and for input pulses as short as 60 ns. Finally we describe two-beam experiments with a new experimental configuration, also in reflection, which allows to mix the two input beams and extract the output beam with an ideal 100% efficiency.","PeriodicalId":441335,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Dynamics in Optical Systems","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123124339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
