Condensation in disordered lasers: theory, 3D+1 simulations and experiments
arXiv:0809.1547 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.143901
Abstract
The complex processes underlying the generation of a coherent-like emission from the multiple-scattering of photons and wave-localization in the presence of structural disorder are still mostly un-explored. Here we show that a single nonlinear Schroedinger equation, playing the role of the Schawlow-Townes law for standard lasers, quantitatively reproduces experimental results and three-dimensional time-domain parallel simulations of a colloidal laser system.
