Recently, random lasing in complex networks has shown efficient lasing over more than 50 localised modes, promoted by multiple scattering over the underlying graph. If controlled, these network lasers can lead to fast-switching…

We analyze both theoretically and by means of numerical simulations the phenomena of filamentation and dynamical formation of self-guided nonlinear waves in media featuring competing cubic and quintic nonlinearities. We provide a…

Topological photonics started out as a pursuit to engineer systems that mimic fermionic single-particle Hamiltonians with symmetry-protected modes, whose number can only change in spectral phase transitions such as band inversions. The…

We analyze how a star network topology shapes the dynamics of coupled CO\textsubscript{2} lasers with an intracavity electro-optic modulator that exhibit bistability. Such a network supports spreading and stationary activation patterns. In…

Mode-locked lasers play a key role in modern science and technology. Not only do they lay the foundation for ultrafast optics and play a central role in nonlinear optics, but also they have important applications in imaging,…

Topological edge states exist at the interfaces between two topologically-distinct materials. The presence and number of such modes are deterministically predicted from the bulk-band topologies, known as the bulk-edge correspondence. This…

Optical cavities can induce photon-mediated interactions among intracavity-trapped atoms. Multimode cavities provide the ability to tune the form of these interactions, e.g., by inducing a nonlocal, sign-changing term to the interaction. By…

This paper introduces a rate-based nonlinear neural network in which excitatory (E) neurons receive feedforward excitation from sensory (S) neurons, and inhibit each other through disynaptic pathways mediated by inhibitory (I) interneurons.…

DNA-driven self-assembly enables precise positioning of the colloidal nanoparticles owing to specific Watson-Crick interactions. Another important feature of this self-assembly method is its reversibility by controlling the temperature of…

Using a discrete mode approach we investigate the intermodal dynamics in a frequency comb with nonlinear coupling due to four-wave mixing. In the presence of sufficient saturable absorption, phase space collapses into a single state, and…

Despite the tremendous success in computer vision, deep convolutional networks suffer from serious computation costs and redundancies. Although previous works address this issue by enhancing diversities of filters, they have not considered…

Complex optical networks containing one or more gain sections are investigated and the evidence of lasing action is reported; the emission spectrum reflects the topological disorder induced by the connections. A theoretical description well…

Topological photonics provides a fundamental framework for robust manipulation of light, including directional transport and localization with built-in immunity to disorder. Combined with an optical gain, active topological cavities hold…

Manipulating and controlling the optical energy flow inside random media is a research frontier of photonics and the basis of novel laser designs. In particular, light amplification in randomly dispersed active inclusions under external…

PT-symmetry in optics is a condition whereby the real and imaginary parts of the refractive index across a photonic structure are deliberately balanced. This balance can lead to a host of novel optical phenomena, such as unidirectional…

This article addresses the problem of reconstructing the topology of a network of agents interacting via linear dynamics, while being excited by exogenous stochastic sources that are possibly correlated across the agents, from time-series…

Scattering induced mode splitting in active microcavities is demonstrated. Below the lasing threshold, quality factor enhancement by optical gain allows resolving, in the wavelength-scanning transmission spectrum, the resonance dips of the…

We extend Lamb's reduced density matrix laser theory to analyze the inhomogeneous molecular couplings and the mode-correlation in a plasmonic nano-laser consisting of a gold sphere and many dye molecules interacting with a driving optical…

Laser self-mixing is in principle a simple and robust general purpose interferometric method, with the additional expressivity which results from nonlinearity. However, it is rather sensitive to unwanted changes in target reflectivity,…

We demonstrate experimentally a new form of induced transparency, i.e., chaos-induced transparency, in a slightly deformed microcavity which support both continuous chaotic modes and discrete regular modes with Q factors exceeding 3X?10^7.…
