Synchronization of Homoclinic Chaos (original) (raw)
2001, Physical Review Letters
Homoclinic chaos is characterized by regular geometric orbits occurring at erratic times. Phase synchronization at the average repetition frequency is achieved by a tiny periodic modulation of a control parameter. An experiment has been carried on a CO 2 laser with feedback, set in a parameter range where homoclinic chaos occurs. Any offset of the modulation frequency from the average induces phase slips over long times. Perfect phase synchronization is recovered by slow changes of the modulation frequency based upon the sign and amplitude of the slip rate. Satellite synchronization regimes are also realized, with variable numbers of homoclinic spikes per period of the modulation.

Homoclinic chaos in a laser: synchronization and its implications in biological systems
Optics and Lasers in Engineering, 2003
Phase synchronization of a CO 2 laser with feedback, exhibiting homoclinic chaos, is realized by a tiny periodic perturbation of a control parameter. The deviations of the modulation frequency from the optimal one induce phase slips, thus yielding an imperfect phase synchronization. Based on the information of these phase slips, the modulation frequency can be readjusted until the phase slips are eliminated. In this way, a control loop which detects the phase slips provides an adaptive tracking of the natural frequency of the dynamical system. Moreover, we have shown that the system's susceptibility is largest when a periodic impulsive perturbation is applied near the saddle focus.
Predicting Phase Synchronization for Homoclinic Chaos in a CO2 Laser
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2004
A novel approach is presented for the reconstruction of phase synchronization phenomena in a chaotic CO 2 laser from experimental data. We analyze this laser system in a regime of homoclinic chaos, which is able to phase synchronize with a weak sinusoidal forcing. Our technique recovers the synchronization diagram of the experimental system from only few measurement data sets, thus allowing the prediction of the regime of phase synchronization as well as nonsynchronization in a broad parameter space of forcing frequency and amplitude without further experiments.
Homoclinic Bifurcation as a Mechanism of Chaotic Phase Synchronization
1999
This paper demonstrates a mechanism of chaotic phase synchronization in which the transition from asynchronous to synchronous chaos is associated with the collision of the asynchronous chaotic attractor with an unstable periodic orbit. This gives rise to a hysteretic transition with the two chaotic regimes coexisting over a certain parameter interval.
Phase synchronization of chaotic oscillations in terms of periodic orbits
Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 1997
We consider phase synchronization of chaotic continuous-time oscillator by periodic external force. Phase-locking regions are defined for unstable periodic cycles embedded in chaos, and synchronization is described in terms of these regions. A special flow construction is used to derive a simple discrete-time model of the phenomenon. It allows to describe quantitatively the intermittency at the transition to phase synchronization.
In phase and antiphase synchronization of coupled homoclinic chaotic oscillators
Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2004
We numerically investigate the dynamics of a closed chain of unidirectionally coupled oscillators in a regime of homoclinic chaos. The emerging synchronization regimes show analogies with the experimental behavior of a single chaotic laser subjected to a delayed feedback.
Amplitude-Phase Synchronization at the Onset of Permanent Spatiotemporal Chaos
Physical Review Letters, 2010
Amplitude and phase synchronization due to multiscale interactions in chaotic saddles at the onset of permanent spatiotemporal chaos is analyzed using the Fourier-Lyapunov representation. By computing the power-phase spectral entropy and the time-averaged power-phase spectra, we show that the laminar (bursty) states in the on-off spatiotemporal intermittency correspond, respectively, to the nonattracting coherent structures with higher (lower) degrees of amplitude-phase synchronization across spatial scales.
Phase Synchronization of Chaotic Intermittent Oscillations
Physical Review Letters, 2004
We study phase synchronization effects of chaotic oscillators with a type-I intermittency behavior. The external and mutual locking of the average length of the laminar stage for coupled discrete and continuous in time systems is shown and the mechanism of this synchronization is explained. We demonstrate that this phenomenon can be described by using results of the parametric resonance theory and that this correspondence enables one to predict and derive all zones of synchronization.
Loss of Chaos Synchronization through the Sequence of Bifurcations of Saddle Periodic Orbits
Physical Review Letters, 1997
In the work we investigate the bifurcational mechanism of the loss of stability of the synchronous chaotic regime in coupled identical systems. We show that loss of synchronization is a result of the sequence of soft bifurcations of saddle periodic orbits which induce the bubbling and riddling transitions in the system. A bifurcation of a saddle periodic orbit embedded in the chaotic attractor determines the bubbling transition. The phenomenon of riddled basins occurs through a bifurcation of a periodic orbit located outside the symmetric subspace.
Chaos, 2003
An increase of the coupling strength in the system of two coupled Rössler oscillators leads from a nonsynchronized state through phase synchronization to the regime of lag synchronization. The role of unstable periodic orbits in these transitions is investigated. Changes in the structure of attracting sets are discussed. We demonstrate that the onset of phase synchronization is related to phase-lockings
