J. Farjas et al., Experimental analysis of codimension-2 bifurcations in a periodically-forced opto-thermal oscillator, INT J B CH, 8(7), 1998, pp. 1413-1435
The response of a self-oscillating opto-thermal device irradiated with modu
lated light is investigated both numerically and experimentally. The subhar
monic bifurcation structure of the amplitude-frequency parameter plane is a
nalyzed and a variety of local and global codimension-2 bifurcations are ch
aracterized. A detailed study of the dynamics transformation around these p
oints is also provided.
