Intrinsic localized modes and chaos in damped driven rotator lattices.
It is shown that intrinsic localized rotational modes (ILRMs) in parametrically driven damped lattices of coupled classical dipole rotators can become chaotic without losing their localized character. Insight into this behavior is obtained by means of a nonlinear stability analysis. Moreover, we discuss a robust scheme for exploiting a spatially extended chaotic state to generate stationary randomly spaced arrays of driven ILRMs, and show that the associated absorption exhibits unusual signatures.
