摘要
We develop a theory of coupled oscillators and apply the theory to data taken on coupled semiconductor lasers. Our theory generalizes much of the early work on this subject, as it includes the effects of time delays along the coupling path. By allowing for these time delays, we introduce additional degrees of freedom, or longitudinal modes, in the coupled oscillator system. We will show that quality phase locking requires that only one coupled-cavity mode be excited in the system, and that this limits the allowable levels of coupling to a range that extends from the minimum at which locking first occurs (the Adler condition) to a maximum coupling at which the lock begins to degrade; this latter level only occurs in oscillators coupled at a distance. © 1990 IEEE
