International audienceThe vector potential of a parallel magnetic field produces a modulation of the interlayer coupling between adjacent superconducting layers. In some cases the period of this modulation can coincide with the period of the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) modulation of the superconducting order parameter. Such a resonance condition results in cusps on the temperature and in-plane angular dependencies of the upper critical field Hc2. This effect can open up a possibility to unambiguously evidence a spatially modulated superconducting phase in layered conductors. Remarkably, the proposed signature of the FFLO state is directly based on the main feature of the FFLO state, the spatial modulations of the order parameter
