The dynamics of a coupled optoelectronic feedback loops are investigated. Depending on the coupling parameters and the feedback strength, the system exhibits synchronized asymptotically stable equilibrium and Hopf bifurcation. Employing the center manifold theorem and normal form method introduced by Hassard et al. (1981), we give an algorithm for determining the Hopf bifurcation properties. 1. Introduction In recent research [1–5], it is found that even if several individual systems behave chaotically, in the case where the systems are identical, by proper coupling, the systems can be made to evolve toward a situation of exact isochronal synchronism. Synchronization phenomena are common in coupled semiconductor systems, and they are important examples of oscillators in general, and many works are concerned with coupled semiconductor systems [6–15]. We consider a feedback loop comprises a semiconductor laser that serves as the optical source, a Mach-Zehnder electrooptic modulator, a photoreceiver, an electronic filter, and an amplifier. The dynamics of the feedback loop can be modeled by the delay differential equations [14, 15]: dπ₯1 (π‘) = − (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) π₯1 (π‘) − πΎ2 π¦1 (π‘) dπ‘ − π½πΎ2 cos2 [π₯1 (π‘ − π) + π0 ] , is the dimensionless feedback strength, they are all positive constants, and π0 is the bias point of the modulator. Depending on the value of the feedback strength π½ and delay π, the loop, which is modeled by system (1), is capable of producing dynamics ranging from periodic oscillations to high-dimensional chaos [1, 14, 15]. We couple two nominally identical optoelectronic feedback loops unidirectionally, that is, the transmitter affects the dynamics of the receiver but not vice versa. Thus, the equations of motion describing the coupled system are given by (1) for the transmitter and dπ₯2 (π‘) = − (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) π₯2 (π‘) − πΎ2 π¦2 (π‘) dπ‘ − π½πΎ2 cos2 [ππ₯1 (π‘ − π) + (1 − π) π₯2 (π‘ − π) + π0 ] , dπ¦2 (π‘) = πΎ1 π₯2 (π‘) , dπ‘ (1) (2) Here, π₯1 (π‘) is the normalized voltage signal applied to the electrooptic modulator, π is the feedback time delay, πΎ1 and πΎ2 are the filter low-pass and high-pass corner frequencies, π½ for the receiver. In (2), π > 0 denotes the coupling strength. We will find that with the variety of π, the dynamical behavior of the coupled system can be different, while the feedback strength π½ keeps the same value. The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, using the method presented in [16], we study the stability, and dπ¦1 (π‘) = πΎ1 π₯1 (π‘) . dπ‘ 2 Abstract and Applied Analysis the local Hopf bifurcation of the equilibrium of the coupled system (1) and (2) by analyzing the distribution of the roots of the associated characteristic equation. In Section 3, we use the normal form method and the center manifold theory introduced by Hassard et al. [17] to analyze the direction, stability and the period of the bifurcating periodic solutions at critical values of π½. In Section 4, some numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the results obtained from the analysis. In Section 5, we come to some conclusion about the effect caused by the variety of parameters. 1 0 π −1 −2 −3 −4 −5 0 2. Stability Analysis In this section, we consider the linear stability of the nonlinear coupled system dπ₯1 (π‘) = − (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) π₯1 (π‘) − πΎ2 π¦1 (π‘) dπ‘ 2 4 dπ¦1 (π‘) = πΎ1 π₯1 (π‘) , dπ‘ 10 Figure 1: The points of intersection of π1 = tan ππ and π2 = (−π2 + πΎ1 πΎ2 )/π(πΎ1 + πΎ2 ), when πΎ1 = 0.1, πΎ2 = 2.5, π = 1.5. π2 + (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) π + πΎ1 πΎ2 − π½πΏπΎ2 ππ−ππ = 0, (6) π2 + (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) π + πΎ1 πΎ2 − (1 − π) π½πΏπΎ2 ππ−ππ = 0.

Lemma 1. The equilibrium πΈ0 (0, −π½cos2 π0 , 0, −π½cos2 π0 ) is asymptotically stable when π½ = 0. Next, we regard π½ as the bifurcation parameter to investigate the distribution of roots of (6) and (7). Let π = iπ (π > 0) be a root of (6) and substituting π = iπ into (6), separating the real and imaginary parts yields dπ¦1 (π‘) = πΎ1 π₯1 (π‘) , dπ‘ −π2 + πΎ1 πΎ2 = π½πΏπΎ2 π sin ππ, π (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) = π½πΏπΎ2 π cos ππ. dπ₯2 (π‘) = − (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) π₯2 (π‘) − πΎ2 π¦2 (π‘) dπ‘ (8) whose roots are π 1,2 = −πΎ1 , (3) It is easy to see that πΈ(0, −π½cos2 π0 , 0, −π½cos2 π0 ) is the only equilibrium of system (3). Linearizing system (3) around πΈ and denote πΏ = sin 2π0 , we get the linearization system (10) Then, we can get + ππ½πΏπΎ2 π₯1 (π‘ − π) + (1 − π) π½πΏπΎ2 π₯2 (π‘ − π) , tan ππ = (4) and the characteristic equation of system (4) × [π2 + (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) π + πΎ1 πΎ2 − π½πΏπΎ2 ππ−ππ ] = 0, 8 [π2 + (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) π + πΎ1 πΎ2 ] = 0, 2 [π2 + (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) π + πΎ1 πΎ2 − (1 − π) π½πΏπΎ2 ππ−ππ ] 6 Notice that when π½ = 0, (5) becomes dπ₯2 (π‘) = − (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) π₯2 (π‘) − πΎ2 π¦2 (π‘) dπ‘ dπ¦2 (π‘) = πΎ1 π₯2 (π‘) , dπ‘ π which is equivalent to − π½πΎ2 cos2 [π₯1 (π‘ − π) + π0 ] , dπ¦2 (π‘) = πΎ1 π₯2 (π‘) . dπ‘ 2 (5) −π2 + πΎ1 πΎ2 . π (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) (11) Hence, (11) has a sequence of roots {ππ }π≥0 (see Figure 1), and 2ππ 2ππ + π/2 { , ), ππ2 < πΎ1 πΎ2 , ( { { π { π ππ ∈ { { 2 (π + 1) π { {( 2ππ + 3π/2 , ) , ππ2 > πΎ1 πΎ2 , π π { π = 0, 1, 2, . . . .

There exists a sequence values of π½ denoted by 0 < π½0 < π½1 < ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ , (16) such that (6) has a pair of imaginary roots ±πππ when π½ = π½π (π = 0, 1, 2, . . .), where π½π is defined by (13), and ππ is the root of (11). (21) As to (7), it can be easily found that −πΎ1 , −πΎ2 are two negative roots when π = 1, so, next, we only focus on (7) with π =ΜΈ 1. Let π = ππ(π) > 0 be a root of (7). Using the same method above, we get −π2 + πΎ1 πΎ2 = (1 − π) π½πΏπΎ2 π sin ππ, (15) From Figure 1, we know that ππ → ∞ when π → ∞, which means that ππ2 > πΎ1 πΎ2 ; furthermore, π½ is increasing with respect to π, when π is sufficiently big. Reorder the set {π½π } such that π½0 = min{π½π } and ππ is correspondent of π½π (π = 0, 1, 2, . . .). Then, we have the following lemma. (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) π = (1 − π) π½πΏπΎ2 π cos ππ, tan ππ = −π2 + πΎ1 πΎ2 . π (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) (22) (23) Then, when 0 < π < 1, (23) has a sequence of roots {ππ }π≥0 , which are the same as those of (11).

Define Let π (π) = πΌ (π½) + ππ (π½) Lemma 3. πΌσΈ (π½π ) > 0. Proof. Substituting π(π½) into (6) and taking the derivative with respect to π½, it follows that dπ dπ dπ + (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) − πΏπΎ2 ππ−ππ − π½πΏπΎ2 π−ππ dπ½ dπ½ dπ½ −ππ dπ + ππ½πΏπΎ2 ππ dπ½ (18) (19) πΌ (π½π ) = π½π Δ Then, (ππ , π½π ) is the solution of (22). Repeat the previous process, we have dπ½ 1 (π2 + πΎ1 πΎ2 ) (π2 − πΎ1 πΎ2 ) . = 2 dπ (1 − π) π½πΏ2 πΎ22 π3 Lemma 4. There exists a sequence values of π½ denoted by 0 < π½0 < π½1 < ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ , + πΎ22 ) + (ππ2 (27) such that (7) has a pair of imaginary roots ±πππ when π½ = π½π (π = 0, 1, 2, . . .), where π½π is defined by (25), and ππ is the root of (23). π (π) = πΌ (π½) + iπ (π½) (πΎ12 (26) Let and by a straight computation, we get [πππ2 (25) Reorder the set {π½π } such that π½0 = min{π½π } and ππ is Therefore, noting that π½πΏπΎ2 ππ−ππ = π2 + (πΎ1 + πΎ2 )π + πΎ1 πΎ2 , we have ππ2 πΎ1 + πΎ2 . (1 − π) πΏπΎ2 cos ππ correspondent of π½π (π = 0, 1, 2, . . .). = 0. π3 + (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) π2 + πΎ1 πΎ2 π dπ 1 , = 2 dπ½ π½ π − πΎ1 πΎ2 + π [π3 + (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) π2 + πΎ1 πΎ2 π] π½π = (17) be the root of (6) satisfying πΌ(π½π ) = 0 and π(π½π ) = ππ . We have the following conclusion. σΈ 2 + [πππ (ππ2 − πΎ1 πΎ2 )] . Then, (ππ , π½π ) is the solution of (10). From (10), we know that 2π Δ = [(ππ2 + πΎ1 πΎ2 ) + πππ2 (πΎ1 + πΎ2 )] (13) + πΎ1 πΎ2 ) (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) +πππ4 + ππΎ12 πΎ22 ] > 0, (20) (28) be the root of (7) satisfying πΌ(π½π ) = 0, π(π½π ) = ππ . Then, similar to the proof of Lemma 3, we have the following conclusion. 4 Abstract and Applied Analysis Lemma 5. πΌσΈ (π½π ) > 0. Clearly, the phase space is C = C([−π, 0], R4 ). For convenience, let Compare π½π , π½π and reorder the set {π½π } and {π½π } and π½∗ ∈ {π½π } ∪ {π½π } , remove the “−” of π½π , such that 0 < π½0 < π½1 < ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ , (29) then from previous lemmas and the Hopf bifurcation theorem for functional differential equations [18], we have the following results on stability and bifurcation to system (3). Theorem 6. For system(3), the equilibrium πΈ is asymptotically stable when π½ ∈ [0, π½0 ) and unstable when π½ ∈ (π½0 , +∞); system (3) undergoes a Hopf bifurcation at πΈ when π½ = π½π , π = 0, 1, 2, . . ., where π½π are defined by (13) or (25). and π½ = π½∗ + π, π ∈ R. From the analysis above we know that π = 0 is the Hopf bifurcation value for system(30). Let iπ∗ be the root of the characteristic equation associate with the linearization of system (30) when π½ = π½∗ . For π = (π1 , π2 , π3 , π4 ) ∈ C, let πΏ π (π) = π΅π (0) + πΆπ (−π) , dπ₯1 (π‘) = − (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) π₯1 (π‘) − πΎ2 π¦1 (π‘) + π½πΏπΎ2 π₯1 (π‘ − π) dπ‘ − (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) −πΎ2 0 0 0 0 0 πΎ1 π΅=( ), 0 0 − (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) −πΎ2 0 0 πΎ1 0 π½πΏπΎ2 0 πΆ=( ππ½πΏπΎ2 0 0 0 0 0 0 (1 − π) π½πΏπΎ2 0 0 0 0 ). 0 0 (33) By the Rieze representation theorem, there exists a 4 × 4 matrix, π(π, π) (−π ≤ π ≤ 0), whose elements are of bounded variation functions such that 0 πΏ π (π) = ∫ dπ (π, π) π (π) , 2 + π½πΎ2 ππ0 π₯12 (π‘ − π) − π½πΏπΎ2 π₯13 (π‘ − π) + π (4) , 3 dπ¦1 (π‘) = πΎ1 π₯1 (π‘) , dπ‘ (32) where 3. The Direction and Stability of the Hopf Bifurcation In Section 2 we obtained some conditions under which system (3) undergoes the Hopf bifurcation at some critical values of π½. In this section, we study the direction, stability, and the period of the bifurcating periodic solutions. The method we used is based on the normal form method and the center manifold theory introduced by Hassard et al. [17]. Move πΈ(0, −π½cos2 π0 , 0, −π½cos2 π0 ) to the origin π(0, 0, 0, 0) and denote πΏ = sin 2π0 , π = cos 2π0 , then system (3) can be written as the form (31) π ∈ C. −π (34) In fact, we can choose π΅, π = 0, { { π (π, π) = {0, π ∈ (−π, 0) { {−πΆ, π = −π. dπ₯2 (π‘) = − (πΎ1 + πΎ2 ) π₯2 (π‘) − πΎ2 π¦2 (π‘) dπ‘ + π½πΎ2 [ππΏπ₯1 (π‘ − π) + (1 − π) πΏπ₯2 (π‘ − π) Then, (30) is satisfied.

The initial value is (0.1, −0.5, 0.1, −0.5). Hopf bifurcation in the center manifold can be determined by π2 and π½2 , respectively. In fact, if π2 > 0 (π2 < 0), then the bifurcating periodic solutions are forward (backward); the bifurcating periodic solutions on the center manifold are stable (unstable) if π½2 < 0 (π½2 > 0); and π2 determines the period of the bifurcating periodic solutions: the period increases (decreases) if π2 > 0 (π2 < 0). From the discussion in Section 2, we have known that Re πσΈ (π½π ) > 0; therefore; we have the following result. Theorem 7. The direction of the Hopf bifurcation for system (3) at the equilibrium πΈ(0, −π½cos2 π0 , 0, −π½cos2 π0 ) when π½ = π½∗ is forward (backward), and the bifurcating periodic solutions on the center manifold are stable (unstable) if Re(π1 (0)) < 0 (> 0). Particularly, the stability of the bifurcation periodic solutions of system (3) and the reduced equations on the center manifold are coincident at the first bifurcation value π½ = π½0 . 4. Numerical Simulations In this section, we will carry out numerical simulations on system (3) at special values of π½. We choose a set of data as follows: π πΎ1 = 0.1, πΎ2 = 2.5, π0 = , π = 1.5, (65) 4 which are the same as those in [1]. Then, πΏ = 1, π = 0. Then, we can obtain ⋅ π1 = 3.5677, . . . , ⋅ ⋅ π1 = 5.5531, . . . , ⋅ π½1 = 1.7434, . . . , π0 = 0.2225, ⋅ π0 = 1.7294, ⋅ π½0 = 1.1008, ⋅ π½0 = 1.3534, ⋅ π½0 = 0.6093, ⋅ π½1 = 2.5235, . . . , ⋅ π½1 = 1.1356, . . . , (66) π = 1.9, π = 3. From the analysis in Section 2, we know that π½(π½) is increasing with respect to π(π) when π(π) > πΎ1 πΎ2 , which means that π½0 = min {π½π } , π½0 = min {π½π } , π = 0, 1, 2, . . . , (67) that is, π½0 (π½0 ) is the first critical value at which system (3) undergoes a Hopf bifurcation. When π = 1.9, by the previous results, it follows that ⋅ πσΈ (π½0 ) = 0.2440 − 0.0491i, ⋅ π2 = 2.2020, ⋅ ⋅ π1 (0) = −0.5373 + 0.1082i, π½2 = −1.0746, π2 = −0.0018.

The initial value is (0.1, −0.5, 0.1, −0.5). Hence, we arrive at the following conclusion: the equilibrium πΈ is asymptotically stable when π½ ∈ [0, 1.1008) and unstable when π½ ∈ (1.1008, +∞), and, at the first critical value, the bifurcating periodic solutions are asymptotically stable, and the direction of the bifurcation is forward (see Figures 2 and 3). When π = 3, we can get ⋅ πσΈ (π½0 ) = 0.9004 + 0.0924i, ⋅ π2 = 2.1231, ⋅ ⋅ π1 (0) = −1.9116 + 0.7930i, π½2 = −3.8232, π2 = −0.5720. (69) Then, we have the following: the equilibrium πΈ is asymptotically stable when π½ ∈ [0, 0.6093), and unstable when π½ ∈ (0.6093, +∞), and, at the first critical value, the bifurcating periodic solutions are asymptotically stable, and the direction of the bifurcation is forward (see Figures 4, 5, and 6). 5. Conclusion Ravoori et al. [1] explored an experimental system of two nominally identical optoelectronic feedback loops coupled unidirectionally, which are described by system (3). In the experiment, they found that depending on the value of the feedback strength π½ and delay π, system (1) is capable of producing dynamics ranging from periodic oscillations to high-dimensional chaos [14, 15]. This paper investigates the stability and the existence of periodic solutions. We find that with the variety of the coupling strength π, even if all other parameters keep the same, the dynamical behavior can change greatly. In fact, it is clear that the first two equations, π₯1 (π‘) and π¦1 (π‘) are uncoupled with equations π₯2 (π‘) and π¦2 (π‘), so system (1) are independent of (2), which means that coupling strength π does not appear in (1). The characteristic equation of (1) has the same form as (6), so the first critical value π½0 is independent of π. The analysis of characteristic equation (7) shows that the value of π can affect the first critical value π½0 definitely. And we draw a conclusion that when π is in an interval, in which π½0 < π½0 holds, solutions of system (1) and (2) keep synchronous; when π belongs to the interval, in which π½0 < π½0 holds, solutions of system (1) and (2) can also keep synchronous with π½ < π½0 , while they lose their synchronization when π½ > π½0 , no matter whether π½ < π½0 or not. As a result, the modulation of the coupling strengths π together with the feedback strength π½ would be an efficient and an easily implementable method to control the behavior of the coupled chaotic oscillators.
