Chaos generation and control in optoelectromechanical systems
Abstract:
Chaos plays a pivotal role in neural networks, extreme-event statistics, and quantum information scrambling. As a nonlinear system, an LC circuit offers high design flexibility and ease of coupling and control. Here we consider a hybrid optoelectromechanical system integrating an LC circuit, optical cavity, and mechanical resonators to engineer controllable photon chaos. We demonstrate deterministic control over chaotic photon dynamics through semiclassical simulations. By tuning key parameters, such as the LC-mode frequency, driving amplitude and optoelectromechanical coupling rates, we achieve precise regulation of chaotic lifetime and intensity. These findings prompt the development of large-scale integrated chaotic photon sources and provide a robust framework for secure communications.

Open and closed-loop control systems
An open-loop control system operates without feedback from the output. It consists of two primary elements: the controller and the controlled process. The controller receives an input signal...
Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
