Abstract
We report the experimental observation of Shil'nikov-type attractors i n the reflection of optothermal nonlinear devices, evidencing homoclin ic phenomena associated with a variety of saddle set configurations. R ecurrent phase-space operations underlying the homoclinic dynamics are evidenced by analysis of proper Poincare sections. In the case of a s addle Limit cycle, deterministic aperiodic evolutions are pointed out clearly by means of high-order multibranched first-return maps.
