Changing Dynamical Complexity with Time Delay in Coupled Fiber Laser Oscillators

Abstract: We investigate the complexity of the dynamics of two mutually coupled systems with internal delays and vary the coupling delay over 4 orders of magnitude. Karhunen-Loève decomposition of spatiotemporal representations of fiber laser intensity data is performed to examine the eigenvalue spectrum and significant orthogonal modes. We compute the Shannon information from the eigenvalue spectra to quantify the dynamical complexity. A reduction in complexity occurs for short coupling delays while a logarithmic growt… Show more

“…That is, the cross correlation between the two lasers peaks not at zero, but at lag time equal to the delay. This has also been observed in two laser systems [19,21]. The theoretical analysis of this will be presented elsewhere for the fiber ring lasers in the hub formation.…”

“…Previous work has also considered noise-induced synchronization in EDFRLs connected via passive coupling delay lines. For two coupled lasers of this type, both modeling and experimentation have demonstrated a complex "leader-follower" phenomenon of dynamic achronal synchronization between the two lasers, where the offset of the phase is precisely equal to the delay time introduced by the passive coupling line [19][20][21]. In the case of the two coupled fiber ring lasers, the achronal synchronization is observed to be non-stationary in both theory and experiment, since leading and lagging lasers switch roles over the course of long time observations.…”

“…The internal selffeedback delay could also be induced by a finite reaction time, which may be given dynamically by the inertia of the local dynamical system without including an explicit delay term, such as the cavity delay time that is often negligible in the laser systems. However, the particular topological structure of a ring of coupled fiber lasers explicitly gives rise to this intrinsic self-feedback delay, 53 where the external coupling delay is emphasized to be induced by a certain time of signal propagation, and the local self-feedback delay arises as an internal round-trip time for the light. So far, there still lacks a clear discrimination between them in regulating collective dynamics.…”
