Abstract
We report the first observation of stochastic resonance in an optical device, the bidirectional ring laser. The experiment exploits a new technique to modulate periodically the asymmetry between the two counter-rotating lasing modes. The measurements verify that the addition of injected noise can lead to an improved signal-to-noise ratio (relative to that observed with no externally injected noise).

Input-output gains for signal in noise in stochastic resonance

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical model for the transmission of a periodic signal added to a noise through a static nonlinearity is considered, and expressions for the gains experienced by the signal, the noise and the signal-to-noise ratio in the input-output nonlinear transmission are derived.

Stochastic resonance in a tunnel diode in the presence of white or coloured noise

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the signal-to-noise ratio, signal and noise output levels in a fast bistable electronic system: a tunnel diode, and observed stochastic resonance when the system is driven by a sum of a small periodic signal and the noise.

An analysis of noise enhanced information transmission in an array of comparators

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that SSR occurs for a number of different signal and noise distributions, and an analysis of the variance of the quantisation error incurred when all thresholds are set equal to the signal mean, for Gaussian and uniform distributions.

Overview: The constructive role of noise in fluctuation driven transport and stochastic resonance.
