Fluctuations of a Photon Bose-Einstein Condensate Coupled to a Reservoir: Describing Coherence Properties in a Free-Energy Model
Photons are mutually nearly noninteracting particles, so thermalized photon ensembles are commonly obtained not from direct particle-particle-interactions but rather from contact with matter, which can constitute a reservoir for the photon gas. We develop a theory model for photons in a material-filled (e.g. liquid dye...
