Frequency locking without phase locking of two coupled nonlinear oscillators is experimentally demonstrated. This synchronization regime is found for two coupled laser modes, beyond the phase-locking range fixed by Adler's equation, because of a resonance mechanism. Specifically, we show that the amplitudes of the two modes exhibit strong fluctuations that produce average frequency synchronization, even if the instantaneous phases are unlocked. The experimental results are in good agreement with a theoretical model.

Previous studies have shown that perceptual performance can be modulated at specific frequencies phase-locked to self-paced motor actions, but findings have been inconsistent. To investigate this effect at the population level, we tested 50 participants who performed a self-paced button press followed by a threshold-level detection task, using both fixed- and random-effects analyses. Contrary to expectations, the aggregated data showed no significant action-related modulation.

In this work, what we believe to be a novel electrostatic 2-DOF micromirror structure with double-biased torsional axes is proposed. By introducing internal resonance, synchronous motions of the two axes with a locked frequency ratio under a single driving force were achieved within a wide frequency range.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWave mixing (WM) techniques are crucial for applications such as supercontinuum generation, frequency conversion, and high-dimensional quantum encoding. However, their efficiency is often limited by complex phase-matching requirements, and current insights into phase-matching mechanisms for high-order WM remain limited. To address this, compact optical path configurations with high-peak-power, synchronous, multicolor ultrafast laser sources are needed to enhance high-order wave-mixing efficiency.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLarge energy single-frequency nanosecond (ns) near-infrared light source is an essential device in the field of the remote chemical analysis based on the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). In this paper, a large energy single-frequency ns 824 nm light source with high repetition rate is presented, which is generated from a seed-injection locked optical parametric oscillator (OPO). By optimizing the spot radius of the pump laser and the mode-matching between the pump laser and signal light, the optical parametric generation (OPG) process is effectively eliminated.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFUltrashort pulses experience random quantum motion as they propagate through a mode-locked laser cavity, a phenomenon that inevitably affects the recently introduced pure-quartic solitons. Investigating this process is essential, as quantum-limited noise establishes fundamental performance limits for their application. To date, studies on quantum diffusion and the resulting timing jitter of these solitons remain sparse.
