Abstract
The well-known phenomenon of the formation of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), a striking consequence of the Bose-Einstein statistics, has been traditionally linked to an ensemble of ultra-cold gas molecules. However, classical systems can also exhibit condensation effects; in the field of photonics, for example, signatures of this condensation in the mode dynamics (“light condensation”, LC) have been theoretically investigated and experimentally observed in various types of multimode lasers [1,2 and ref. therein].
