17. We have experimentally tested whether self-coupling affects the laser dynamics. As we set the polarizers to the coupling strength used in the experiment, we turned off one of the lasers and observed the optical spectrum of the other laser. We did not find any spectral differences compared to the laser spectrum without coupling.
