Abstract
The phenomenon of injection locking in a nearly resonant circuit is known since long. The last few decades considerable progress has been made in the field of optical resonators, of which a diode laser operating above threshold, and injected with monochromatic light from an independent source (in general a laser too) is an example. A lot of research has focused on the locking state (i.e. the laser exactly copies the input field) and its stability.1
