We study thermalization of temporally incoherent light waves in a weakly birefringent single mode fiber. We show that the natural process of light thermalization can be arrested by the spontaneous emergence of strongly correlated fluctuations.

Abstract

We study thermalization of temporally incoherent light waves in a weakly birefringent single mode fiber. We show that the natural process of light thermalization can be arrested by the spontaneous emergence of strongly correlated fluctuations.
