We connect three phenomena in which a coherent electromagnetic field could be generated: polariton condensation, phaselocking in arrays of underdamped Josephson junctions, and lasing. All these phenomena have been described using Dicke-type models of spins coupled to a single photon mode. These desc

β¦ Synopsis
We have phase locked a lumped array of five High-T c Josephson junction oscillators in the frequency range 140-400 GHz. The oscillator junctions were dc-biased in parallel using superconducting leads to ensure identical dc-voltages and oscillations frequencies (f=2eV/h). However, the junctions were connected in series for the high frequency currents. We find the output power of this phase locked oscillator array to be sufficient to modulate an on-chip detector junction with clear Shapiro steps and to be 0.09 I.tW at 250 GHz.

Dynamic properties of two-dimensional arrays of high-To weak links have been investigated. The basic structure is a microbridge patterned in a laser deposited YBa2Cu3 O~ thin film. A submicron rectangular mesh of aluminium strips, diffused by heating to ~300 Β°C, is used to form a 2-D array of inter-
