Abstract

A bifurcation diagram for a driven nonlinear semiconductor oscillator is measured directly, showing successive subharmonic bifurcations to f32, onset of chaos, noise band merging, and extensive noise-free windows. The overall diagram closely resembles that computed for the logistic model. Measured values of universal numbers are reported, including effects of added noise.
