    A tweezer for chimeras in small networks
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2015) Omelchenko, Iryna; Omelchenko, Oleh E.; Zakharova, Anna; Wolfrum, Matthias; Schöll, Eckehard
    We propose a control scheme which can stabilize and fix the position of chimera states in small networks. Chimeras consist of coexisting domains of spatially coherent and incoherent dynamics in systems of nonlocally coupled identical oscillators. Chimera states are generally difficult to observe in small networks due to their short lifetime and erratic drifting of the spatial position of the incoherent domain. The control scheme, like a tweezer, might be useful in experiments, where usually only small networks can be realized.

    Numerical study of coherence of optical feedback in semiconductor laser dynamics
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Radziunas, Mindaugas; Little, Douglas J.; Kane, Deborah M.
    The nonlinear dynamics of semiconductor laser with coherent, as compared to incoherent, delayed optical feedback systems have been discussed and contrasted in prior research literature. Here, we report simulations of how the dynamics change as the coherence of the optical feedback is systematically varied from being coherent to incoherent. An increasing rate of phase disturbance is used to vary the coherence. An edge emitting, 830nm, Fabry Perot semiconductor laser with a long external cavity is simulated. Following this study, consideration of prior and future experimental studies should include evaluation of where on the continuum of partial coherence the delayed optical feedback sits. Partial coherence is a parameter that will affect the dynamics.
