Abstract

Competition between two distinct driving frequencies to phase synchronize the intensity dynamics of a chaotic laser has been observed. The phase of the chaotic intensity signal is constructed using the complex analytic signal. Competing frequencies alternately show phase locking and phase slipping. Competition has been quantified by calculating the portion of time the laser phase locks to each of the driving frequencies and their average.
