Abstract

Detection of phase synchronization of coupled chaotic oscillators is examined experimentally for the case of a linear laser array. Phase variables are computed by applying a Gaussian filter, peaked at a positive frequency, to the signal obtained from the intensity time series of the individual lasers. Relationships between different frequency components of the oscillator dynamics that are not otherwise apparent are unambiguously detected.
