Wideband complex-enhanced chaos generation using a semiconductor laser subject to delay-interfered
Optics Express
|May 5, 2019
Summary
A novel semiconductor laser scheme generates wideband chaos with enhanced complexity. This method utilizes delay-interfered, self-phase-modulated optical feedback to suppress the time-delay-signature (TDS), improving chaos characteristics.
Area of Science:
- Nonlinear Dynamics and Photonics
- Semiconductor Laser Chaos
Background:
- Chaos generation in semiconductor lasers is crucial for secure communications and random number generation.
- Existing optical feedback methods often struggle with limited bandwidth or detectable time-delay-signatures (TDS).
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose and investigate a wideband chaos generation scheme with enhanced complexity.
- To suppress the time-delay-signature (TDS) for improved chaos characteristics.
Main Methods:
- Utilized a semiconductor laser with delay-interfered self-phase-modulated optical feedback.
- Conducted extensive experimental and numerical investigations.
- Analyzed the effects of feedback strength, phase modulation index, and interference delay.
Main Results:
- Achieved wideband chaos with a flat spectrum and excellent TDS suppression.
- Demonstrated effective chaos generation over a wide dynamic operation range.
- Showcased superior performance compared to conventional optical feedback schemes.
Conclusions:
- The proposed scheme significantly enhances chaos effective bandwidth and complexity.
- Achieved near-indistinguishable TDS levels (close to 0) by suppressing time-delay-signatures.
- Offers a robust method for generating high-quality chaos for advanced applications.

siRNA - Small Interfering RNAs

Small interfering RNAs, or siRNAs, are short regulatory RNA molecules that can silence genes post-transcriptionally, as well as the transcriptional level in some cases. siRNAs are important for protecting cells against viral infections and silencing transposable genetic elements.
In the cytoplasm, siRNA is processed from a double-stranded RNA, which comes from either endogenous DNA transcription or exogenous sources like a virus. This double-stranded RNA is then cleaved by the...

Generation of Three-Phase Voltage
775
A three-phase AC generator has a rotor with a rotating magnet placed within the stator mounted with the stationary three-phase winding to generate three-phase voltages via mutual induction. These windings are evenly distributed around the inner circumference of the stator and are arranged 120 electrical degrees apart. Three-phase stator windings consist of three separate coils or groups of coils, known as phases, each connected in Y (star) configuration or Delta configuration.

Biochemical reactions are occurring constantly in cells, converting starting substances to different products, usually with the help of enzymes that speed the reactions. Without enzymes, it would take far too long for most reactions to occur to be useful to the cell!

There is variation in the electrical conductivity of materials - metals, semiconductors, and insulators that are showcased with the help of the energy band diagrams.
Metals such as copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), or lead (Pb) have low resistivity and feature conduction bands that are either not fully occupied or overlap with the valence band, making a bandgap non-existent. This allows electrons in the highest energy levels of the valence band to easily transition to the conduction band upon gaining...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...
