On the applicability of Kirchhoff's law to the lasing regime

A Loirette-Pelous, JJ Greffet - Optica, 2024 - opg.optica.org
In 1860, Kirchhoff showed that the radiance emitted by a hot body is the product of its
absorptivity by a universal function of temperature and frequency, which he defined as …

Breakdown of Temporal Coherence in Photon Condensates
