Chaotic Observer-based Synchronization Under Information Constraints
Limit possibilities of observer-based synchronization systems under
information constraints (limited information capacity of the coupling channel)
are evaluated. We give theoretical analysis for multi-dimensional
drive-response systems represented in the Lurie form (linear part plus
nonlinearity depending only on measurable outputs). It is shown that the upper
bound of the limit synchronization error (LSE) is proportional to the upper
bound of the transmission error. As a consequence, the upper and lower bounds
of LSE are proportional to the maximum rate of the coupling signal and
inversely proportional to the information transmission rate (channel capacity).
Optimality of the binary coding for coders with one-step memory is established.
The results are applied to synchronization of two chaotic Chua systems coupled
via a channel with limited capacity.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, 27 reference
Controlled Synchronization of One Class of Nonlinear Systems under Information Constraints
Output feedback controlled synchronization problems for a class of nonlinear
unstable systems under information constraints imposed by limited capacity of
the communication channel are analyzed. A binary time-varying coder-decoder
scheme is described and a theoretical analysis for multi-dimensional
master-slave systems represented in Lurie form (linear part plus nonlinearity
depending only on measurable outputs) is provided. An output feedback control
law is proposed based on the Passification Theorem. It is shown that the
synchronization error exponentially tends to zero for sufficiantly high
transmission rate (channel capacity). The results obtained for synchronization
problem can be extended to tracking problems in a straightforward manner, if
the reference signal is described by an {external} ({exogenious}) state space
model. The results are applied to controlled synchronization of two chaotic
Chua systems via a communication channel with limited capacity.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure
Scaling the mid-IR radiation at 7 μm - Two-stage double-pass 195 MHz narrow-bandwidth DFG laser system
We present a laser system based on difference frequency generation (DFG) to produce tunable, narrow-linewidth (<30 pm), and high-energy mid-IR radiation in the 6785 nm region. The system exploits nonlinear crystals (such as LiInS2, LiInSe2 and BaGa4Se7) and nanosecond pulses generated by single-frequency Nd:YAG and Cr:forsterite lasers at 1064 and 1262 nm, respectively. Various experimental configurations are used: single-pass and double-pass through the nonlinear crystal. Additional increments of the output energy can be obtained by performing two stage double-pass geometry
Computer modeling of coupled electromagnetic, temperature and magnetohydrodynamic fields in the induction heating and melting devices
Computer modeling is necessary part of design new induction heating and melting devices [1]. One of the complicated technologies when it is necessary to simulate coupled electromagnetic, temperature and magnetohydrodynamic fields is heating and melting of titanium alloys in the alternating electromagnetic field. Thermal processing of titanium alloys in the inductor has some features that it is necessary to take into account on the designing of the advanced technology and equipment. Low thermal conductivity and high temperature losses at the surface result in maximum temperature inside of the billet that could under appropriate conditions exceed melting point. In this way it is possible to obtain liquid phase of titanium alloy inside of the billet and protect it from the contact with surrounding atmosphere. To get this it is necessary to choose the right regime of processing, frequency of current, power and thermal conditions. At the same time precise heating with very strong execution of the temperature profile during the heating time are essential for thermal processing of titanium alloys in this technology [2]. Mathematical model comprising computation of electromagnetic, temperature, MHD fields after getting melt zone and dynamic of its growth was developed. The calculation of the melting process has been carried out by the method “enthalpy-porosity” with application of models of turbulent currents k-ω SST in a non-static setting. Electromagnetic forces and heat sources have been defined by solving a harmonic task by the method of finite elements on a vector magnetic potential in the system “inductor – load” for each iteration of the hydrodynamic task. Experiments confirmed need in simulation of MHD fields to receive good coincidence. Using of the developed models for simulation of electromagnetic processing billets make it easy to develop and implement optimal heat processing systems for the crucibleless induction melting of titanium alloys.The calculations on the basis of the model and the analysis of physical processes with non-crucible melting of titanium alloys have also been carried out
Eye-Safe Solid-State Quasi-CW Raman Laser with Millisecond Pulse Duration
We demonstrate the first quasi-CW (ms-long pulses, pump duty cycle of 10%)
end-diode pumped solid state laser generating eye-safe radiation via
intracavity Raman conversion. The output power at the first Stokes wavelength
(1524 nm) was 250 mW. A theoretical model was applied to analyze the laser
system and provide routes for optimization. The possibility of true CW
