摘要：
We report the first investigations of the dynamical behaviour of a system of three coupled Nd:YVO4 microchip lasers, operating under stationary conditions near the threshold of phase locking. We observe a number of different types of intensity and phase correlation instabilities. These include synchronous intensity pulsations of two or three lasers as well as states where one intensity pulsation has a different amplitude and phase. This constitutes the first observation of localized synchronization in a system of three unmodulated coupled lasers.
