“…In photonics, frequency and phase locking has particular relevance for laser injection [8,9] and in laser arrays where it can establish coherence between individual emitters even in the presence of disorder [10,11,12], i.e. an unintentional variation of the frequencies of the free-running emitters forming the array.…”

“…The Adler locking mechanism has relevance in biological clocks, chemical reactions, mechanical and electrical oscillators [6]. In optics frequency locking of the Adler type was first observed in lasers with injected signals [9] with more recent generalizations to coupled lasers [4], the spatio-temporal domain [67], quantum dot lasers [68] and frequency without phase locking [69].…”

Self-localized states or dissipative solitons have the freedom of translation in systems with a homogeneous background. When compared to cavity solitons in coherently driven nonlinear optical systems, laser cavity solitons have the additional freedom of the optical phase. We explore the consequences of this additional Goldstone mode and analyze experimentally and numerically frequency and phase locking of laser cavity solitons in a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with frequency-selective feedback. Due to growth-related variations of the cavity resonance, the translational symmetry is usually broken in real devices. Pinning to different defects means that separate laser cavity solitons have different frequencies and are mutually incoherent. If two solitons are close to each other, however, their interaction leads to synchronization due to phase and frequency locking with strong similarities to the Adler-scenario of coupled oscillators.

“…The higher the injected power, the larger is the allowable frequency offset between the seed laser and the slave laser's resonance 8 . Close to quantum-limited intensity and phase noise can be achieved with this technique [9][10][11][12][13][14] . Recently, Y. Shimada et al…”

Stable laser sources at 461 nm are important for optical cooling of strontium atoms. In most existing experiments this wavelength is obtained by frequency doubling infrared lasers, since blue laser diodes either have low power or large emission bandwidths. Here, we show that injecting less than 10 mW of monomode laser radiation into a blue multimode 500 mW high power laser diode is capable of slaving at least 50% of the power to the desired frequency. We verify the emission bandwidth reduction by saturation spectroscopy on a strontium gas cell and by direct beating of the slave with the master laser. We also demonstrate that the laser can efficiently be used within the Zeeman slower for optical cooling of a strontium atomic beam.
