The output of a hybrid acoustooptic bistable device with delayed feedback is investigated. Depending on the input intensity, such a system exhibits periodic and chaotic behaviour. Period doubling up to period-8 with the reverse Lorentz sequence is presented. The sequence of bifurcations is truncated by the additive electrical shot noise and the multiplicative noise due to the laser intensity fluctuations. Frequency locked oscillations are also presented.

The peroxidase-oxidase oscillating reaction was the first (bio)chemical reaction to show chaotic behaviour. The reaction is rich in bifurcation scenarios, from period-doubling to peak-adding mixed mode oscillations. Here, we study...


The dynamical behaviour of a reduction of the forced (and damped) Korteweg-de Vries equation is studied numerically. Chaos arising from subharmonic instability and homoclinic crossings are observed. Both period-doubling bifurcations and the Melnikov sequence of subharmonic bifurcations are found and lead to chaotic behaviour, here characterised by a positive Lyapunov exponent. Supporting theoretical analysis includes the construction of periodic solutions and homoclinic orbits, and their behaviour under perturbation using Melnikov functions.

We investigate the onset of chaos in a model for a periodically-forced class-B laser. By periodically modulating the laser-cavity damping rate we consider a pair of coupled nonautonomous ordinary differential equations for the laser intensity and population inversion. As the excitation is increased, the system exhibits saddle-node bifurcations to subharmonic oscillations, period-doubling bifurcations, chaos, and crises. Our investigations focus on the role of a pair of unstable orbits in the onset of the first chaotic attractor. One orbit is a subharmonic saddle while the other is a period one saddle. Upon creation of the period one saddle due to a period doubling bifurcation, its stable manifold immediately forms transverse intersections with the unstable manifold of a coexisting subharmonic saddle forming a heteroclinic crossing. These heteroclinic intersections provide a mechanism for the formation of horseshoes and the development of a chaotic attractor.
