Abstract :
Numerical analysis of control and suppression of chaos in flared laser systems is presented. In order to stabilize the chaotic output of such systems, both the periodic perturbation method and the proportional feedback method are examined with good results. Several variations of the proportional feedback method are presented. A certain rule of thumb for tuning the different control algorithms is demonstrated to be fruitful
