Spontaneous symmetry breaking of an optical polarization state in a polarization-selective nonlinear reson by Manannikov, K, Mironova, E, Poliakov, A, Mikhaylov, A, Ulanov, A, Lvovsky, A

“…We pump the vapor cell with horizontally polarized light while the vertical polarization, which is initially in the vacuum state, is resonated in a ring cavity. Microscopic field fluctuations in this mode experience cumulative gain due to the compound action of amplification due to the self-rotation and feedback through the resonator, eventually acquiring a macroscopic magnitude akin to an optical parametric oscillator. …”

CLT for linear spectral statistics of normalized sample covariance matrices with the dimension much larger than the sample size by Chen, Binbin, Pan, Guangming
