Toward a Thermodynamic Framework for Dissipative Solitons: From Photonics to Turbulence and Bose–Einstein Condensate Analogies

Thermodynamic concepts are increasingly used in nonlinear photonics to describe Rayleigh–Jeans thermalization, optical wave turbulence, condensation, negative-temperature states, and statistical mode locking. We ask how far this reasoning can be extended to localized structures m...
