Mode-locking transitions in nanostructured weakly disordered lasers
Mode-locking transitions in nanostructured weakly disordered lasers
We report on a statistical approach to mode-locking transitions of nanostructured laser cavities characterized by an enhanced density of states. We show that the equations for the interacting modes can be mapped onto a statistical model exhibiting a first-order thermodynamic transition, with the average mode energy playing the role of …
