Abstract
This paper focusses on bifurcations to cooperative states in arrays of linearly coupled identical nonlinear optical oscillators, that is, to states in which each individual oscillator adopts the same state. The general condition on the coupling which allows cooperative states is derived and the examples of coupled gas lasers and coupled parametric oscillators are analysed. These examples show clearly the effects of both the degree of component oscillator phase symmetry and the complexity of the coupling geometry.
