A technique in which the phase of each mode of oscillation in a laser is locked to those of the two adjacent modes, so that a fixed-phase relationship arises between all the modes, resulting in the emission at intervals of about a nanosecond of short trains of extremely short pulses whose duration is of the order of picoseconds. 3, record 1, English, - mode%20locking

Par exemple, notre horloge biologique a un cycle de vingt-cinq heures lorsqu'elle est complètement isolée de toute variation de lumière, de repas, etc. Dès qu'on l'expose à la lumière, elle est commandée par la journée de vingt-quatre heures et devient «bloquée en phase» sur cette fréquence. Mais il suffit d'un voyage transatlantique pour détruire ce blocage de phase. Nos propres cœurs battent par blocage de phase de cellules individuelles et leurs battements tendent à s'harmoniser après un certain temps passé en groupe fermé. 2, record 2, French, - blocage%20de%20phase
