Coherence between two coupled lasers from a dynamics perspective (2009)
Ray, Will, Rogers, Jeffrey L., Wiesenfeld, Kurt
We compare a simple dynamical model of fiber laser arrays with independent experiments on two coupled lasers. The degree of agreement with experimental observations is excellent. Collectively the...
Effect of Gain-Dependent Phase Shift on Fiber Laser Synchronization (2009)
Wiesenfeld, Kurt, Peles, Slaven, Rogers, Jeffrey L.
Recent experiments have demonstrated synchronization of fiber laser arrays at low and moderate pump levels. It has been suggested that a key dynamical process leading to synchronized behavior is the...

Vulnerability to Noise of a Phase-Locked Oscillator Array (2007)
James Theiler, Steve Nichols, Kurt Wiesenfeld
The effect of noise on the in-phase attractor of a set of N globally coupled oscillators is studied; these discrete-time maps are associated with the continuous-time equations of motion for a series...

I would like to dedicate this dissertation to my family and friends who stuck with me all these years and especially to my wife – without whom my life would be so much more lonely. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS...
Wavelets of Excitability in Sensory Neurons (2001)
Jeff Hasty, J. J. Collins, Kurt Wiesenfeld, Peter Grigg, J. J. Collins, Kurt Wiesenfeld, ...
Wavelets of excitability in sensory neurons. J Neurophysiol 86: 2097–2101, 2001. We have investigated variations in the excitability of mammalian cutaneous mechanoreceptor neurons. We focused on...
Nonlinear Dynamics of Josephson Junction Parametric Amplifier Arrays. (1998)
For practical applications, it is most desirable to operate arrays in the in-phase state, so that each oscillator has precisely the same waveform, and all oscillators are in perfect synchrony....
Novel Applications of Stochastic Resonance and Spatiotemporal Chaos Control (1998)
This research project studied the spatiotemporal and stochastic coupled arrays of nonlinear elements using an dynamics of systems comprised of experimental method employing analog VLSI hardware. This...
Synchronization transitions in a disordered Josephson series array (1996)
Kurt Wiesenfeld, Pere Colet, Steven H. Strogatz
We show that a current-biased series array of non-identical Josephson junctions undergoes two transitions as a function of the spread of natural frequencies. One transition corresponds to the onset...
Vulnerability to Noise of a Phase-Locked Oscillator Array (1995)
James Theiler, Steve Nichols, Kurt Wiesenfeld
The effect of noise on the in-phase attractor of a set of N globally coupled oscillators is studied; these discrete-time maps are associated with the continuous-time equations of motion for a series...
Averaged equations for Josephson junction series arrays with LRC load (1994)
Wiesenfeld, Kurt, Swift, James W.
We derive the averaged equations describing a series array of Josephson junctions shunted by a parallel inductor-resistor-capacitor load. We assume that the junctions have negligable capacitance...
Vulnerability to Noise of A Phase-Locked Oscillator Array
James Theiler, Steve Nichols, Kurt Wiesenfeld
The effect of noise on the in-phase of a set of $N$ globally coupled oscillators is studied; these discrete-time maps are associated with the continuous-time equations of motion for a series array of...
