Collective excitation profiles and the dynamics of photonic condensates
Benjamin T. Walker, Henry J. Hesten, Robert A. Nyman +1
Photonic condensates are complex systems exhibiting phase transitions due to the interaction with their molecular environment. Given the macroscopic number of molecules that form a…

Non-critical slowing down of photonic condensation
Benjamin T. Walker, Henry J. Hesten, Himadri S. Dhar +2
We investigate the response of a photonic gas interacting with a reservoir of pumped dye-molecules to quenches in the pump power. In addition to the expected dramatic critical slow…

Decondensation in non-equilibrium photonic condensates: when less is more
Henry J. Hesten, Robert A. Nyman, Florian Mintert
We investigate the steady state of a system of photons in a pumped dye-filled microcavity. By varying pump and thermalization the system can be tuned between Bose-Einstein condensa…
