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
Optical thermodynamics is a newly developed framework that applies principles from statistical mechanics to describe the intricate behavior of weakly nonlinear, multimode photonic…
Amplified Light Beam Cooling via Emergent Onsager's Irreversible Thermodynamics
Zhongfei Xiong, Fan O. Wu, Yang Liu +3
High-brightness coherent light source is at the heart of optical technology and yet challenging to achieve. Here, we propose an unconventional approach that utilizes the "forbidden…
Nonequilibrium transport and the fluctuation theorem in the thermodynamic behaviors of nonlinear photonic systems
Yang Liu, Jincheng Lu, Zhongfei Xiong +4
Nonlinear multimode optical systems have attracted substantial attention due to their rich physical properties. Complex interplay between the nonlinear effects and mode couplings m…
Nature of Optical Thermodynamic Pressure Exerted in Highly Multimoded Nonlinear Systems
Huizhong Ren, Georgios G. Pyrialakos, Fan O. Wu +4
The theory of optical thermodynamics provides a comprehensive framework that enables a self-consistent description of the intricate dynamics of nonlinear multimoded photonic system…
Dalton's law of partial optical thermodynamic pressures in highly multimoded nonlinear photonic systems
Huizhong Ren, Georgios G. Pyrialakos, Fan O. Wu +3
We show that in highly multimoded nonlinear photonic systems, the optical thermodynamic pressures emerging from different species of the optical field obey Dalton's law of partial…
Guiding Trojan light beams via Lagrange points
Haokun Luo, Yunxuan Wei, Fan O. Wu +3
The guided transmission of optical waves is critical for light-based applications in modern communication, information processing, and energy generation systems. Traditionally, gui…
Gain/loss induced localization in one-dimensional PT-symmetric tight-binding models
O. Vazquez-Candanedo, J. C. Hernandez-Herrejon, F. M. Izrailev +1
We investigate the properties of PT-symmetric tight-binding models by considering both bounded and unbounded models. For the bounded case, we obtain closed form expressions for the…
