Controlled two-mode emission from the interplay of driving and thermalization in a dye-filled photonic cavity

In a system of photons in a dye-filled cavity the competition between inhomogeneous mode-selective pumping and thermalization with the dye solution is investigated. Lasing in the pumped mode at a first pump threshold is found to assist thermalization-induced photon condensation in the ground mode at a second threshold. This effect can be exploited for controlling two-mode emission.
