Tunable Real Space Transfer Oscillator by Delayed Feedback Control of Chaos
Cooper, D. P.; Schöll, Eckehard
It is demonstrated numerically that by using Pyragas' method of chaos self-control a stable semiconductor oscillator can be designed based on driven real-space transfer oscillations in a modulation-doped heterostructure. By application of a small time-continuous delayed feedback voltage control signal, different unstable periodic orbits embedded in the chaotic attractor can be stabilized. Thus different modes of self-generated periodic voltage oscillations can be selected by choosing an appropriate delay time. This provides tunability to different discrete frequencies.
