Frequency locking of modulated waves

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider the behavior of a modulated wave solution to an mathbbS1-equivariant autonomous system of differential equations under an external forcing of modulated wave type. The modulation frequency of the forcing is assumed to be close to the modulation frequency of the modulated wave solution, while the wave frequency of the forcing is supposed to be far from that of the modulated wave solution. We describe the domain in the three-dimensional control parameter space (of frequencies and amplitude of the forcing) where stable locking of the modulation frequencies of the forcing and the modulated wave solution occurs. Our system is a simplest case scenario for the behavior of self-pulsating lasers under the influence of external periodically modulated optical signals.


The authors study systems of differential equations of the form \[ x'=f(x)+g(x)|y|^2,\quad y'=h(x)y+\gamma\exp(i\alpha t)a(\beta t), \] where \(x\in{\mathbb R}^n\) and \(y\in{\mathbb C}\). For example, such systems model self-pulsating lasers under the influence of external periodically modulated optical signals. It is assumed that the nonperturbed system (with \(\gamma=0\)) has an exponentially orbitally stable quasi-periodic solution of modulated wave type. The authors describe the behavior of modulated wave solutions in the case when the difference \(\beta-\beta_0\) between the internal and external modulation frequencies is small while the difference \(\alpha -\alpha_0\) between the internal and external wave frequencies is large.
