Emergence of multistability and quasi-periodicity in an optoelectronic oscillator

Dynamics of an optoelectronic oscillator have been studied. The main stable dynamical regimes have been established. Evolution of the phase portrait of the system was studied as well. Bifurcation analysis has been carried out to substantiate observed evolution of the phase space structure. It is shown that the system is multistable. Multistability is formed by combinations of periodic and quasi-periodic regimes.
