Experimental Control of Chaos

Abstract

We have pursued several research directions on the development, characterization, control and synchronization of nonlinear dynamical systems displaying low dimensional deterministic chaos. The goal of this program is to uncover fundamental issues related to the control and synchronization of nonlinear systems by conducting experiments with novel devices and making precise comparisons between our observations and theoretical predictions. The results of these studies will eventually lead to improved performance of devices that are based on nonlinear systems and to the development of new classes of communication systems. Specifically, we have investigated the control of high speed nonlinear systems including electronic circuits and lasers, and we have explored the conditions under which two nonlinear systems will synchronization in an experimental setting. This research has resulted in 11 publications, 12 invited conference presentations, colloquia, and seminars, 4 distributed conference presentations, one Ph.D. dissertation and several extended contacts with DoD researchers.
