Experimental demonstration of crowd synchrony and first-order transition with lasers

Synchronization of different and independent oscillators that interact with each other via a common intermediate is ubiquitous in many fields. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the effect of crowd synchrony, analogous to that of the Millennium Bridge, by resorting to coupled lasers. When the numbe...
