Abstract

One of the simplest optical system exhibiting chaotic dynamics is Ikeda’s problem modeling a passive cavity subject to optical or opto-electronic feedback [1] But more recently, a variety of new opto-electronic chaos generators using a delayed feedback have been developed [2] As Ikeda’s system, these systems are accurately described by first order delay differential equations of the form where τ and T represents the physical time of the system and the delay of the feedback, respectively.
