Abstract

En 中文
Cluster synchronization is a general phenomenon in a network of non-locally coupled oscillators. Here, we show that cluster synchronization occurs in semiconductor lasers, where the beat notes between the pairs of adjacent longitudinal modes of the laser cavity constitute a collection of coupled phase oscillators. Non-local coupling arises from the standing-wave nature of the cavity with finite mirror reflectivities, which we can actively control. Varying the coupling, we can bring the laser into a state of cluster synchronization where the two beat note families oscillate at two distinct collective frequencies. Using a coherent beat note detection technique, we show that the beat notes within the two families are synchronized in the opposite configurations-in-phase and antiphase.
