Abstract

We show how a simple electronic parametric oscillator can be used to exhibit both supercritical and subcritical bifurcations to a subharmonic oscillatory state as the pump frequency is varied, and study the scaling behavior of the oscillation amplitude in the vicinity of the tricritical point.
