Synchronization in PT-symmetric optomechanical resonators

Abstract: Synchronization has great impacts in various fields such as self-clocking, communication, neural networks, etc. Here we present a mechanism of synchronization for two mechanical modes in two coupled optomechanical resonators by introducing the so-called PT-symmetric structure. It is shown that the degree of synchronization between the two far-off-resonant mechanical modes can be increased by decreasing the coupling strength between the two optomechanical resonators. Additionally, when we consider the stochastic noises in the optomechanical resonators, we find that more noises can enhance the degree of synchronization of the system under particular parameter regime. Our results open up the new dimension of research for PT-symmetric systems and synchronization.
