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…

Optical Kinetic Theory of Nonlinear Multi-mode Photonic Networks
Arkady Kurnosov, Lucas J. Fernández-Alcázar, Alba Y. Ramos +2
Recent experimental developments in multimode nonlinear photonic circuits (MMNPC), have motivated the development of an optical thermodynamic theory that describes the equilibrium…
