Description
Photon Bose-Einstein condensates are an interesting platform from which to study near-thermal equilibrium. They offer many advantages over atomic and solid state systems due to the easy preparation and measurement of photons. I will present a non-equilibrium model, derived from a Hamiltonian, capable of predicting the photon populations within a factor of two. This model makes the counter intuitive prediction that the photonic modes may loose condensation as the pump power is increased. The complex interaction between modes produces a rich phase diagram, which I have fit analytic results to.
