Experimental Chua-plasma phase synchronization of chaos.
Experimental phase synchronization of chaos is demonstrated for two different chaotic oscillators: a plasma discharge and the Chua circuit. Our technique includes real-time capability for observing synchronization-desynchronization transitions. This capability results from a strong combination of synchronization and control, and allows tuning adjustments for search and stabilization of synchronous states. A power law is observed for the mean time between 2pi phase slips for different coupling strenghts. The experimental results are consistent with the numerical simulations.
