A thermodynamic description of the near- and far-field intensity patterns emerging from multimode nonlinear waveguide arrays

Mahmoud A. Selim, Fan O. Wu, Huizhong Ren +2

Nonlinear highly multimode photonic systems are ubiquitous in optics. Yet, the sheer complexity arising from the action of nonlinearity in multimode environments has posed theoreti…

Entropic thermodynamics of nonlinear photonic chain networks

Fan O. Wu, Pawel S. Jung, Midya Parto +2

The complex nonlinear behaviors of heavily multimode lightwave structures have been recently the focus of considerable attention. Here we develop an optical thermodynamic approach…

Optical amplification and transmission of attenuated multi-soliton based on spectral characteristics of Akhmediev breather

Guangye Yang, Fan O. Wu, Helena Lopez Aviles +1

We analyze temporal and spectral characteristics of Akhmediev breather and establish amplification and transmission of attenuated multi-soliton in nonlinear optical fiber. Our resu…

Thermodynamic conditions governing the optical temperature and chemical potential in nonlinear highly multimoded photonic systems

Midya Parto, Fan O. Wu, Pawel S. Jung +2

We show that, in general, any complex weakly nonlinear highly multimode system can reach thermodynamic equilibrium that is characterized by a unique temperature and chemical potent…

Direct generation of tunable orbital angular momentum beams in microring lasers with broadband exceptional points

William E. Hayenga, Jinhan Ren, Midya Parto +7

Non-Hermitian exceptional points (EPs) represent a special type of degeneracy where not only the eigenvalues coalesce, but also the eigenstates tend to collapse on each other. Rece…
