To that end, the appropriate Hamiltonian models are derived and their limits of applicability are discussed. The versatility of the framework allows the characterization of ordered and disordered lasers in open and closed cavities in a unified scheme, from standard mode-locking to random lasers. With the use of replica method and Monte Carlo simulations, the models are categorized on the basis of universal properties, and nontrivial predictions of experimental relevance are obtained. In particular, the approach makes it possible to nonperturbatively treat the interplay between disorder and nonlinearity and to envisage novel and fascinating physical phenomena such as glassy random lasers, providing a novel way to experimentally investigate replica symmetry breaking. . 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aQuantum optics 606 $aLasers 606 $aPhotonics 606 $aStatistical physics 606 $aDynamical systems 606 $aQuantum Optics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24050 606 $aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030 606 $aComplex Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33000 606 $aStatistical Physics and Dynamical Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19090 615 0$aQuantum optics. 615 0$aLasers. 615 0$aPhotonics. 615 0$aStatistical physics. 615 0$aDynamical systems. 615 14$aQuantum Optics. 615 24$aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices. 615 24$aComplex Systems. 615 24$aStatistical Physics and Dynamical Systems. 676 $a530.1595 700 $aAntenucci$b Fabrizio$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0814108 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254617603321 996 $aStatistical Physics of Wave Interactions$92536248 997 $aUNINA
