Abstract

Improved experimental investigations of the parametrically modulated nuclear magnetic resonance laser are discussed with emphasis on the analysis of chaotic states. Phase diagrams of the parameter space are constructed from bifurcation diagrams to display the rich phenomenology of periodic behavior, chaos, and collisions between stable and unstable orbits. Long data strings have been recorded in particularly interesting regions of the parameter space. From the corresponding time series, the attractors have been reconstructed by embedding techniques, and generalized dimensions and entropies have been computed using the kth nearest-neighbor method.
