摘要

Abstract

Spin glass theory

as a paradigm for describing disordered magnetic systems

constitutes a prominent subject of study within statistical physics. Replica symmetry breaking (RSB)

as one of the pivotal concepts for the understanding of spin glass theory

means that under identical conditions

disordered systems can yield distinct states with nontrivial correlations. Random fiber laser (RFL) based on Rayleigh scattering (RS) is a complex disordered system

owing to the disorder and stochasticity of RS. In this work

for the first time

a precise theoretical model is elaborated for studying the photonic phase transition via the platform of RS-based RFL

in which we clearly reveal that

apart from the pump power

the photon phase variation in RFL is also an analogy to the temperature term in spin-glass phase transition

leading to a novel insight into the intrinsic mechanisms of photonic phase transition. In addition

based on this model and real-time high-fidelity detection spectral evolution

we theoretically predict and experimentally observe the mode-asymmetric characteristics of photonic phase transition in RS-based RFL. This finding contributes to a deeper understanding of the photonic RSB regime and the dynamics of RS-based RFL.
