Abstract

We show that the nonlinear bifurcations found by simulations in single quantum wells in the terahertz regime [5, 6, 25] also occur in semiconductor superlattices (SSLs) in the gigahertz range [2, 3, 11]. The only exception is the second Hopf bifurcation to quasi-periodic orbits on a torus. The advantage of experiments on SSLs in the gigahertz range is that the experiments can be conducted at room temperature and a chaotic oscillator due to the random dressing of a period two-orbit has already been measured [31, 32]. We determine [42] that the route to chaos for SSLs in the sequential tunneling regime is the period doubling cascade. Shorter (10-period) superlattices are observed to exhibit faster oscillations compared with longer (50-period) ones. Two plateaus are observed as functions of the voltage bias, and intrinsically chaotic dynamics on the second plateau are possible only for shorter SSLs, while the dynamics in the first plateau contain intrinsic chaos only for longer (N > 50) SSLs [21].
