Statistical physics of Bose-Einstein condensed light in a dye microcavity
arXiv:1201.0444 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.160403
Abstract
We theoretically analyze the temperature behavior of paraxial light in thermal equilibrium with a dye-filled optical microcavity. At low temperatures the photon gas undergoes Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC), and the photon number in the cavity ground state becomes macroscopic with respect to the total photon number. Owing to a grandcanonical excitation exchange between the photon gas and the dye molecule reservoir, a regime with unusually large fluctuations of the condensate number is predicted for this system that is not observed in present atomic physics BEC experiments.
