This article reviews recent theoretical and experimental advances in the fundamental
understanding and active control of quantum fluids of light in nonlinear optical systems. In …

The nonlinear propagation of coherent optical fields has been extensively explored in the
framework of nonlinear optics, while the linear propagation of incoherent fields has been …

Mode-locking is a process in which different modes of an optical resonator establish stable
synchronization through non-linear interactions. This self-organization underlies light …

Nonlinear multimode optical systems support a host of intriguing effects that are impossible
in single-mode settings. Although nonlinearity can provide a rich environment where the …

Theoretical studies on wave turbulence predict that a purely classical system of random
waves can exhibit a process of condensation, which originates in the singularity of the …

Geometric frustration, the inability of an ordered system to find a unique ground state plays a
key role in a wide range of systems. We present a new experimental approach to observe …

The overall goal of photonics research is to understand and control light in new and richer
ways to facilitate new and richer applications. Many major developments to this end have …

Engineering broadband light absorbers is crucial to many applications, including energy-
harvesting devices and optical interconnects. The performances of an ideal absorber are …

Abstract The observation of Bose–Einstein condensation, in which particle interactions lead
to a thermodynamic transition into a single, macroscopically populated coherent state, is a …

We address the problem of thermalization in the presence of a time-dependent disorder in
the framework of the nonlinear Schrödinger (or Gross-Pitaevskii) equation with a random …
