Synchronization of Chaotic Storage-Ring Free-Electron Laser by Bi-Directional Coupling Scheme with the Coupling Strength Varied Periodically

We analyse the chaotic dynamics of storage-ring free-electron lasers and report a bi-directional coupled scheme with the coupling strength varied periodically to synchronize two chaotic storage-ring free-electron lasers. The period is the same as the period of system's external modulation. The possibility of synchronization is proven according to the Lyapunov stability theory. The results of numerical simulation are obtained. Both the numerical simulation and theoretic analysis show that two storage-ring free-electron lasers can be controlled in the synchronization in a short time with this method.
