Time-reversal symmetry enables shaping input waves to control output waves in many linear and nonlinear systems; however energy dissipation violates such symmetry. We consider a saturated multimode fiber amplifier in which light generates…

Topological phases are often characterized by special edge states confined near the boundaries by an energy gap in the bulk. On raising temperature, these edge states are lost in a clean system due to mobile thermal excitations. Recently…
