Variable Potentials for Thermalized Light and Coupled Condensates
David Dung, Christian Kurtscheid, Tobias Damm +4
For over a decade, cold atoms in lattice potentials have been an attractive platform to simulate phenomena known from solid state theory, as the Mott-insulator transition. In contr…
First-order spatial coherence measurements in a thermalized two-dimensional photonic quantum gas
Tobias Damm, David Dung, Frank Vewinger +2
Phase transitions between different states of matter can profoundly modify the order in physical systems, with the emergence of ferromagnetic or topological order constituting impo…
Bose-Einstein Condensation of Photons versus Lasing and Hanbury Brown-Twiss Measurements with a Condensate of Light
Julian Schmitt, Tobias Damm, David Dung +3
The advent of controlled experimental accessibility of Bose-Einstein condensates, as realized with e.g. cold atomic gases, exciton-polaritons, and more recently photons in a dye-fi…
Calorimetry of a Bose-Einstein condensed photon gas
Tobias Damm, Julian Schmitt, Qi Liang +4
Phase transitions, as the condensation of a gas to a liquid, are often revealed by a discontinuous behavior of thermodynamic quantities. For liquid Helium, for example, a divergenc…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking and phase coherence of a photon Bose-Einstein condensate coupled to a reservoir
Julian Schmitt, Tobias Damm, David Dung +4
We examine the phase evolution of a Bose-Einstein condensate of photons generated in a dye microcavity by temporal interference with a phase reference. The photo-excitable dye mole…
Thermalization kinetics of light: From laser dynamics to equilibrium condensation of photons
Julian Schmitt, Tobias Damm, David Dung +3
We report a time-resolved study of the thermalization dynamics and the lasing to photon Bose-Einstein condensation crossover by in-\textit{situ} monitoring the photon kinetics in a…
Observation of grand-canonical number statistics in a photon Bose-Einstein condensate
Julian Schmitt, Tobias Damm, David Dung +3
We report measurements of particle number correlations and fluctuations of a photon Bose-Einstein condensate in a dye microcavity using a Hanbury Brown-Twiss experiment. The photon…
Bose-Einstein Condensation of Photons in a Microscopic Optical Resonator: Towards Photonic Lattices and Coupled Cavities
Jan Klaers, Julian Schmitt, Tobias Damm +3
Bose-Einstein condensation has in the last two decades been observed in cold atomic gases and in solid-state physics quasiparticles, exciton-polaritons and magnons, respectively. T…
Thermalization of a two-dimensional photon gas in a polymeric host matrix
Julian Schmitt, Tobias Damm, Frank Vewinger +2
We investigate thermodynamic properties of a two-dimensional photon gas confined by a dye-filled optical microcavity. A thermally equilibrated state of the photon gas is achieved b…
Statistical physics of Bose-Einstein condensed light in a dye microcavity
Jan Klaers, Julian Schmitt, Tobias Damm +2
We theoretically analyze the temperature behavior of paraxial light in thermal equilibrium with a dye-filled optical microcavity. At low temperatures the photon gas undergoes Bose-…
Bose-Einstein condensation of paraxial light
J. Klaers, J. Schmitt, T. Damm +2
Photons, due to the virtually vanishing photon-photon interaction, constitute to very good approximation an ideal Bose gas, but owing to the vanishing chemical potential a (free) p…
