Abstract:
We study laminar chaos in an electronic experiment. A two-diode nonlinear circuit with delayed feedback shows chaotic dynamics similar to the Mackey-Glass or Ikeda delay systems. Clock modulation of a single delay line leads to a conservative variable delay, which with a second delay line is augmented to dissipative delays, leading to laminar chaotic regimes. We discuss the properties of this particular delay modulation and demonstrate experimental aspects of laminar chaos in terms of power spectra and return maps.

RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...
