Realistic Model for Random Lasers from Spin-Glass Theory

Abstract

This work finds its place in the statistical mechanical approach to light amplification in disordered media, namely Random Lasers (RLs). The problem of going beyond the standard mean-field Replica Symmetry Breaking (RSB) theory employed to find the solution of spin-glass models for RLs is addressed, improving the theory towards a more realistic description of these optical systems. The leading model of the glassy lasing transition is considered: the Mode-Locked (ML) 4 phasor model. This is a complex spherical 4-spin model, with a deterministic selection rule, affecting the coupling of the electromagnetic field modes. The model is investigated with both numerical and analytical techniques.
