High-dimensional chaos was controlled with the occasional proportional feedback technique in a delayed optical bistable system which consists of a laser diode interferometer with a delayed opto-electronic feedback loop. Both the experiment and the numerical simulation showed that a large number of periodic orbits can be stabilized by controlling the chaotic attractor. The transient state of the trajectory under control was demonstrated.
Key words : chaos, chaos control, laser diode interferometer, delay-differential model, optical bistable system
