| contents | Parametric excitation in coupled mechanical systems has enabled advances in sensing, computation, and phonon control. The function of distinct phase modes using parametric driving remains insufficiently explored. Here, we investigate the nonlinear and parametric response of degenerate phase modes in a Double Ended Tuning Fork (DETF) resonator. Our measurements reveal pronounced nonlinearity and parametric amplification in the out-phase mode, attributed to the dominant contribution of the coupling beam, while the in-phase mode remains predominantly linear. Uniquely, we demonstrate parametric excitation through the coupling spring, enabling selective amplification and de-amplification controlled via the relative phase between harmonic and parametric drives. A parametric gain of $\sim$13 dB is achieved in the out-phase mode, with phase-dependent modulation of amplification, indicating its suitability for signal processing, logic operations, and memory elements based on degenerate modes. These results establish a new approach to exploiting mode-specific nonlinear dynamics in coupled resonators for emerging applications in sensing and phononic control. |
