Abstract

The noise-rise phenomenon is a long-standing problem that was first observed in Josephson-junction-parametric amplifiers over ten years ago. We present here a case where noise-rise data from a Josephson junction is successfully explained, using a theory based on the universal properties of a dynamical system operated near a bifurcation point. The experiment and theory presented here is for a bifurcation of the Hopf type, a case not discussed previously. The predicted behavior is qualitatively different from that of previously studied bifurcations.
