Abruptly autofocusing waves enter space-time

Nikolaos K. Efremidis, Demetrios N. Christodoulides

Whereas conventional Gaussian focusing gradually concentrates optical energy around the focal plane, abruptly autofocusing waves maintain a low peak intensity over most of their ev…

Unified framework of optical thermodynamics and optical pressure

Nikolaos K. Efremidis, Huizhong Ren, Demetrios N. Christodoulides

The paper develops a unified theoretical framework for optical thermodynamics and optical pressure, using statistical‑mechanics concepts to describe weakly nonlinear multimode phot…

Optical Pin Beams: Research Progresses and Emerging Applications

Ze Zhang, Hongwei Jiang, Hongyue Xiao +5

Optical pin beams (OPBs) represent a novel class of structured light fields engineered for resilient, long-distance propagation. Their exceptional stability and strong resistance t…

Unveiling prethermalization and thermal processes through the simplest one-dimensional topological model

Guowen Yang, Jiale Wang, Yichuan Chen +5

Drawing on classical thermodynamic principles-such as the equipartition of energy and entropy maximization-extensive research has shown that the evolution of optical power in multi…

Vortex inverted pin beams: Mitigation of scintillations in strong atmospheric turbulence

Sotiris Droulias, Michalis Loulakis, Dimitris G. Papazoglou +3

We recently introduced a new class of optical beams with a Bessel-like transverse profile and increasing beam width during propagation, akin to an "inverted pin". Owing to their sp…

Thermalization dynamics in photonic lattices of different geometries

Guowen Yang, Domenico Bongiovanni, Daohong Song +3

The statistical mechanical behavior of weakly nonlinear multimoded optical settings is attracting increased interest during the last few years. The main purpose of this work is to…
