Optical Thermodynamics Beyond the Weak Nonlinearity Limit
Emily Kabat, Shrohan Mohapatra, P. G. Kevrekidis +1
Optical thermodynamics has recently emerged as a theoretical framework describing a Rayleigh-Jeans (RJ) modal power distribution of multimoded nonlinear photonic circuits. However,…

Nonlinear Defect Theory of Thermalization in Complex Multimoded Systems
Emily Kabat, Alba Y. Ramos, Lucas J. Fernández-Alcázar +1
We show that a single nonlinear defect can thermalize an initial excitation towards a Rayleigh-Jeans (RJ) state in complex multimoded systems. The thermalization can be hindered by…
