Controlling optical beam thermalization via band-gap engineering
We establish dispersion engineering rules that allow us to control the thermalization process and the thermal state of an initial beam propagating in a multimode nonlinear photonic circuit. To this end, we have implemented a kinetic equation (KE) approach in systems whose Bloch dispersion relation e...
