摘要: Synchronization of many coupled oscillators is widely found in nature and has the potential to revolutionize timing technologies. Here, we demonstrate synchronization arrays silicon nitride micromechanical an all-to-all configuration purely through optical radiation field. We show that phase noise synchronized can be improved by almost 10 dB below limit for each individual oscillator. These results open a practical route towards oscillator networks.
