Thermalization of light waves in multimode optical fibers: Negative temperatures equilibrium states and the role of disorder - INVITED

Nonlinear random waves exhibit a phenomenon of irreversible thermalization, in analogy with the thermalization of a classical gas system. This irreversible process of thermalization to the Rayleigh-Jeans equilibrium distribution has been recently observed experimentally in multimode optical fibers....
