Abstract

The synchronization of coupled oscillators is a very old problem¹; the simplest quantum optical example is, perhaps, offered by laser with injected signal. In fact, the injection technique has important applications, since it offers an efficient way to lock high power lasers to an external frequency reference. On the other hand, the recent studies on laser instabilities and chaotic dynamics² extend the physical interest to the unlocking parameter region.
