The effect of discrete-time evolution on thermalisation in a lattice
Thomas Moorcroft, Alberto Amo, François Copie +3
Particles subject to weak contact interactions in a finite-size lattice tend to thermalise. The Hamiltonian evolution ensures energy conservation and the final temperature is fully…
Experimental observation of the spatio-temporal dynamics of breather gases in a recirculating fiber loop
François Copie, Gino Biondini, Jeffrey Oregero +3
We report the first experimental observation of breather gases (BGs) in optics, realized in a recirculating fiber loop enabling virtually lossless propagation over km. Initi…
Controlled manipulation of solitons in a recirculating fiber loop using external potentials
François Copie, Pierre Suret, Stéphane Randoux
Optical solitons are self-sustained wave packets that propagate without distortion due to a balance between dispersion and nonlinearity. Their unique stability underpins key photon…
Perturbed Nonlinear Evolution of Optical Soliton Gases: Growth and Decay in Integrable Turbulence
Loic Fache, Francois Copie, Pierre Suret +1
We present optical fiber experiments investigating the perturbed, non-integrable evolution of soliton gases (SGs) under weak linear damping and gain. By measuring the amplitude and…
Observation of a generalized Gibbs ensemble in photonics
Alvise Bastianello, Alexey Tikan, Francois Copie +2
In generic classical and quantum many-body systems, where typically energy and particle number are the only conserved quantities, stationary states are described by thermal equilib…
