A new type of dynamics called laminar chaos was discovered in systems with time-varying delay [1]. It is a low-dimensional dynamics characterized by laminar phases of nearly constant intensity with periodic durations and a chaotic variation of the intensity from phase to phase. This is in contrast to the typically observed higher-dimensional turbulent chaos, which is characterized by strong fluctuations. In this work [2], we demonstrate experimentally and theoretically that laminar chaos is a robust phenomenon. Therefore, we provide the first experimental observation of laminar chaos by studying an optoelectronic feedback loop with time-varying delay and provide a time-series analysis toolbox for its detection. The toolbox is benchmarked by experimental data and by time-series of a delayed Langevin equation.
