A Simple Photosensitive Circuit Based on a Mutator for Emulating Memristor, Memcapacitor, and Meminductor: Light Illumination Effects on Dynamical Behaviors.

This contribution investigates a photosensitive circuit based on a mutator for emulating memristor, memcapacitor, and meminductor. The circuit contains a phototube, a mutator, and several basic electronic components. The phototube is employed within the circuit to capture the external illumination for energy injection in order to obtain a continuous signal source. By varying the light intensity on the phototube, chaotic dynamics such as attractors, bifurcation diagrams, and Lyapunov exponents spectrum are analyzed, while the mutator is switched to different mem-elements without changing the structure of the circuit. Especially, the special phenomenon of the coexistence of attractors is discovered. Ultimately, the circuit is realized using DSP. This circuit holds promise in offering potential insights into the dynamics of neural networks, and it could find applications in the development of highly sensitive sensors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
