Abstract
We show that a self-oscillatory system, driven at two frequencies close to that of the unforced system (resonance 1:1), becomes phase locked and exhibits two equivalent stable states of opposite phases. For spatially extended systems this phase bistability results in patterns characteristic for real order parameter systems, such as phase domains, labyrinths, and phase spatial solitons. In variational cases, the phase-locking mechanism is interpreted as a result of the periodic "rocking" of the system potential. Rocking could be tested experimentally in lasers and in oscillatory chemical reactions.
