Abstract
We studied the behavior of Josephson junctions in a two-dimensional ar ray under the influence of microwave irradiation. We are able to disti nguish between junctions that are phase locked to the external microwa ve and unlocked junctions by means of spatially resolving measurements . The degree of coherence in the array can be influenced by tuning the external rf power. Analogies to the coherent behavior of atoms in a l aser are pointed out.
