Stabilization of optically coupled lasers with periodic pumping

  • Published:
Nonlinear Oscillations

We study a periodically forced system modeling the synchronization of two optically coupled lasers pumped by an alternating current. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a periodic solution is given, as well as a sufficient condition for its uniqueness and asymptotic stability.
