Abstract:
We present for the first time (to our knowledge) experimental data on the intrinsic relaxation oscillation frequency in a twin-ridge laser array. We present a detailed analysis of the frequency response of the device, both under single-ridge operation as well as in twin ridge. We demonstrate the strong influence that the injection current on one ridge has over the relaxation oscillation frequency of the other. Using previously defined dependencies for the twin ridge, we link the imaginary part of the coupling constant to the observed variations in the relaxation oscillation frequency, proposing a procedure to determine a parameter that so far has been used as a free adjustment value.

¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene π orbitals.

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
