From 3b82aabe1d3839ee842ab9a868023a83ee57d89b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sat, 6 Jun 2026 09:58:29 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 01/63] Add self-consistent and full-SALT modal-intensity solvers (issue #42) The lasing L-I curves were computed with a single linearised, near-threshold SALT model: one pump-independent competition matrix T built from threshold profiles, plus a linear solve. This adds two opt-in alternatives alongside it and a benchmark comparing all three. New `intensity_method` config key (default "linear", validated as a Literal), dispatched in `step_compute_modal_intensities`: - `self_consistent`: rebuilds T at the operating pump (`compute_mode_competition_matrix_at_pump`) while reusing the exact event-driven activation/vanishing sweep, factored out as `_modal_intensity_sweep`. Relaxes the frozen-threshold-profile approximation; keeps linear saturation. Byte-identical to the old path when T is pump-independent. - `full_salt` (experimental): folds the per-edge spatial-hole-burning denominator in via the new `dispersion_relation_pump_saturated` and a damped fixed point in the modal intensities at each pump, on top of the same sweep, so the gain clamps and the L-I curves bend over. `intensity_oversample_size` refines the within-edge saturation. Both reduce to the linear model at threshold (asserted in tests). The expensive matrix rebuilds are snapped onto a bounded `salt_D0_steps` pump grid, and the sweep has a safety event cap, so the solvers always terminate. `mode_on_nodes`/`flux_on_edges`/`mean_mode_on_edges` gain a `check_quality` flag so profiles can be evaluated on a graph pumped above a mode's threshold. `benchmark/bench_salt.py` runs the shared pipeline once, swaps only the intensity step, and reports speed + accuracy with overlaid L-I curves and an oversample convergence study. Docs (`lasing.rst`) and the line_PRA / buffon_multimode examples document the knob. Adds unit tests for the saturated dispersion, the quality-flag plumbing, the intensity-solve helpers, and the pipeline dispatch. --- benchmark/bench_salt.py | 215 +++++++++++ doc/source/lasing.rst | 51 ++- examples/buffon/buffon_multimode/_base.yaml | 4 + examples/line_PRA/config.yaml | 6 + netsalt/modes.py | 387 ++++++++++++++++++-- netsalt/params.py | 22 ++ netsalt/physics.py | 33 ++ netsalt/pipeline.py | 50 ++- tests/test_unit.py | 167 +++++++++ 9 files changed, 882 insertions(+), 53 deletions(-) create mode 100644 benchmark/bench_salt.py diff --git a/benchmark/bench_salt.py b/benchmark/bench_salt.py new file mode 100644 index 00000000..de9df0d0 --- /dev/null +++ b/benchmark/bench_salt.py @@ -0,0 +1,215 @@ +"""Modal-intensity solver benchmark: linear / self_consistent / full_salt. + +Compares the three L--I (intensity-vs-pump) solvers added for issue #42 on +**speed** and **accuracy**: + +* ``linear`` — the original near-threshold SALT model (one pump-independent + competition matrix, a linear solve, piecewise-linear curves). +* ``self_consistent`` — competition matrix rebuilt from the mode profiles at + the *operating* pump (relaxes the frozen-threshold-profile approximation). +* ``full_salt`` — experimental nonlinear SALT with the per-edge spatial + hole-burning denominator (relaxes gain clamping too); bends the L--I over. + +The expensive, shared pipeline steps (passive modes, pump, trajectories, +thresholds, competition matrix) are run once through the normal cached pipeline; +only the modal-intensity step is swapped between solvers, so the table isolates +the cost and the drift of the three intensity models. + +Usage:: + + python benchmark/bench_salt.py # default: line_PRA + python benchmark/bench_salt.py examples/line_PRA/config.yaml + +Writes ``benchmark/bench_salt_ll.pdf`` (overlaid L--I curves) and, for +``full_salt``, ``benchmark/bench_salt_oversample.pdf`` (within-edge +convergence).

At each pump it finds (k, a) such that the saturated operator L_sat (dispersion_relation_pump_saturated) is singular at real k, via a bounded trust-region least-squares evaluated only on the real axis (keeps ARPACK well-conditioned and excludes the spurious k=0 / a->inf branches), with a damped Picard for the hole-burning field and a fixed ARPACK seed for determinism.

At each pump it solves, for every active mode, (k_μ, a_μ) so the shared saturated operator L_sat is singular at each real k_μ. The naive monolithic 2M (k,a) least-squares was unstable (a weak mode's amplitude chattered between 0 and ~1, perturbing the dominant mode). The robust design is decoupled: - inner frequency/profile fixed point (_converge_modes_fields) with continuous mode-following: warm-started *local* complex-k refines (_refine_local) so each mode tracks itself across pump and ARPACK cannot swap modes; - outer bounded M-dim amplitude least-squares (_solve_amplitudes) driving every alpha_μ -> 0, with a≥0 so a non-lasing candidate is pushed to a=0. Activation is borrowed from the linear model's interacting thresholds. On line_PRA: deterministic and path-independent; the dominant mode's onset slope still matches the linear 1/(T_μμ·D0_thr); and full SALT lases *fewer* modes than the linear model (mode 4 is suppressed by mode 3's gain saturation) -- the physical gain-clamping effect the linear model misses.

Two issues fixed: - Inner fixed point now converges to a looser inner_tol (1e-6) instead of the outer tol (1e-8); the amplitude least-squares uses a matching ftol/xtol/gtol and an explicit diff_step=1e-2 so its Jacobian perturbation sits well above the residual's iterative noise floor (a finite-diff Jacobian needs the residual converged tighter than its step -- previously impossible, so it burned iterations). ~3x fewer inner refines. - _single_mode_field_intensity reused its single eigen-solve for both the pump-norm and the per-edge |E|^2 instead of solving the mode twice (mean_mode_on_edges factored into _mean_intensity_from_flux). Correctness: _refine_local's excursion guard k_window is now adaptive -- 0.4 x the minimum inter-mode k spacing -- so continuous mode-following cannot grab a neighbouring mode on graphs whose modes are closer than the previous fixed 1.0 window (line_PRA spacing is ~0.7-1.0). Frequency pulling per pump step is tiny, so the tighter window is safe. line_PRA result unchanged (mode 3 -> 2.133, mode 4 suppressed), still deterministic (2.13271) and path-independent; 4-pump solve ~20 s (was ~36-68 s).

Measured ~8x per eigensolve at N~11; full_salt_newton on line_PRA drops from ~20s to ~11s for a 4-pump solve, and the whole mode-search pipeline (scan / refine / competition) benefits on small/medium graphs.

The event-driven _modal_intensity_sweep was written for the *constant* linear competition matrix, where the active set grows monotonically and stays non-negative. With a pump-dependent matrix the raw linear solve T^-1(...) can return large negative intensities (a mode that should have switched off, or an ill-conditioned rebuild) that the linear-extrapolation vanishing logic never catches -- the final-step write had no guard at all. Add _nonneg_active_set: before solving at each pump, drop the most-negative mode and re-solve until all survivors are >= 0 (a small active-set / NNLS step), and clip the writes. For the constant linear matrix this is a no-op, so the linear result stays byte-identical (functional test unchanged). 2. Dense eigensolve crash on non-finite operators. A root-finder can probe a k whose saturated operator overflows to inf/NaN; np.linalg.eigvals/eig raise LinAlgError there, where ARPACK's branch returned "not a mode". Guard both dense paths: laplacian_quality returns quality 1 (as ARPACK does on non-convergence) and mode_on_nodes falls back to ARPACK. All 109 tests pass; the experimental solvers now return physical (non-negative) L--I curves, with full_salt switching modes off and full_salt_newton showing gain-clamping suppression. https://claude.ai/code/session_01EH6xEV2sQozKjjH6vNKjyC --- netsalt/modes.py | 46 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- netsalt/quantum_graph.py | 8 ++++++- 2 files changed, 48 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/netsalt/modes.py b/netsalt/modes.py index 796b4346..25749a90 100644 --- a/netsalt/modes.py +++ b/netsalt/modes.py @@ -442,8 +442,11 @@ def mode_on_nodes(mode, graph, check_quality=True): # Dense fast path for small graphs (see DENSE_EIG_MAX): a direct eigensolve is # several times faster than ARPACK shift-invert at small N and returns the same # nearest-zero eigenpair (smallest-magnitude eigenvalue and its eigenvector). - if laplacian.shape[0] <= DENSE_EIG_MAX: - eigenvalues, eigenvectors = np.linalg.eig(laplacian.toarray()) + # Fall back to ARPACK if the operator is non-finite (a probed ``k`` overflowed), + # since ``np.linalg.eig`` would raise. + dense = laplacian.toarray() if laplacian.shape[0] <= DENSE_EIG_MAX else None + if dense is not None and np.isfinite(dense).all(): + eigenvalues, eigenvectors = np.linalg.eig(dense) idx = int(np.argmin(np.abs(eigenvalues))) min_eigenvalue = eigenvalues[idx] node_solution = eigenvectors[:, idx] @@ -889,6 +892,30 @@ def _intensity_slopes_shifts(mode_competition_matrix, lasing_thresholds, lasing_ return slopes, shifts +def _nonneg_active_set(mode_competition_matrix, lasing_thresholds, lasing_mode_ids, pump_intensity): + """Prune the active set so every modal intensity at ``pump_intensity`` is >= 0. + + The SALT intensity equations only admit a physical solution with all modal + intensities non-negative.

The at-pump matrix evaluated each mode's *frozen threshold field* on a graph pumped to the common operating pump; a mode pumped well above its own threshold is no longer an eigenmode there (its |lambda1| grows large, ~7.6 on the line at 2.5x threshold), and the distortion -- worst for the lowest-threshold, highest-gain mode -- inflated that mode's self-saturation (T00 3.2 -> 5.1) and let a weaker mode overtake it. _follow_modes_to_pump now tracks each mode to the operating pump by continuation: a few warm-started complex-k refines from the mode's own threshold up to the pump, with the real-k excursion capped below the inter-mode spacing. A single refine was not enough -- the dominant mode sits too deep in gain to reach in one jump (it stayed at |lambda1|=7.6); continuation drives every mode to |lambda1|~0. With physical profiles the ordering no longer flips: self_consistent ~ linear (small profile correction) and full_salt ~ full_salt_newton in total (e.g. ring 2.54 vs 2.52). Refining at a mode's own threshold is a no-op, so reduction to the linear matrix at threshold is preserved. New regression test asserts the lowest-threshold mode stays dominant at 2.5x threshold. 113 tests pass. https://claude.ai/code/session_01EH6xEV2sQozKjjH6vNKjyC --- netsalt/modes.py | 54 +++++++++++++++++- tests/test_unit.py | 137 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- 2 files changed, 137 insertions(+), 54 deletions(-) diff --git a/netsalt/modes.py b/netsalt/modes.py index 95a8044c..0b71179e 100644 --- a/netsalt/modes.py +++ b/netsalt/modes.py @@ -818,7 +818,9 @@ def compute_mode_competition_matrix(graph, modes_df, with_gamma=True): return _scatter_competition_block(block, lasing_mask, len(threshold_modes_all)) -def compute_mode_competition_matrix_at_pump(graph, modes_df, pump_intensity, with_gamma=True): +def compute_mode_competition_matrix_at_pump( + graph, modes_df, pump_intensity, with_gamma=True, follow_modes=True +): """Competition matrix with every mode profile evaluated at ``pump_intensity``.

The frozen field is what removes the Jacobian noise; the trust region + k-window/a>=0 bounds globalise it (a raw Newton diverges). - Gain-clamping active-set continuation in the driver: step the pump up; solve the confirmed lasing set, drop modes whose amplitude vanishes, and add a candidate only when it has net gain (alpha<0) on the current saturated background. This is the physical criterion and is self-consistent -- it no longer borrows the linear active set, so it neither over-counts nor flips the winner. Removes the old _converge_modes_fields / _solve_amplitudes and the per-mode multiprocessing pool. Amplitudes are still reported in the linear modal-intensity unit (onset-slope match). On the line/ring/tree the result is clean single-mode (the physically correct answer; linear/full_salt over-count); the broad-gain line is now stable instead of random. 113 tests pass (reduction-to-linear and no-flip-ordering tests updated automatically via the shared fixture). https://claude.ai/code/session_01EH6xEV2sQozKjjH6vNKjyC --- netsalt/modes.py | 532 +++++++++++++++++------------------------------ 1 file changed, 196 insertions(+), 336 deletions(-) diff --git a/netsalt/modes.py b/netsalt/modes.py index a892f5c8..b41b7578 100644 --- a/netsalt/modes.py +++ b/netsalt/modes.py @@ -1416,227 +1416,111 @@ def _saturated_graph_multi(graph, modes, a_arr, D0, pump, fields): return _saturated_graph_from_d0_eff(graph, _d0_eff_array(graph, modes, a_arr, D0, pump, fields)) -# --- optional multiprocessing of the independent per-mode refines ------------- -# For a large active set on a large graph the per-mode refine/field solves in the -# inner fixed point are independent and substantial; a persistent pool over them -# pays off.

With a loose k-window (up to +-0.5), the trust-region least-squares zeroed an active mode's residual by drifting its k to a spurious nearby root with a=0 (e.g. on the ring it dropped the lowest-threshold mode and crowned a higher one, with conv=False), instead of raising its amplitude to lase. Frequency pulling above threshold is small, so confine k to a tight window (0.2 * min inter-mode spacing, capped to [0.02, 0.1]). The mode can no longer drift to a spurious zero, so a genuinely-lasing mode is forced to raise its amplitude while a genuinely-suppressed one still reaches a=0 via the bound.

Probing the steady state directly (force a candidate into the solve across a fine pump grid) showed: no bistability (seeding the amplitude large vs ~0 gives one identical branch), the true turn-on is continuous, and modes do not dip when the new mode is included from its true onset. The jump+dip only appeared because the active-set continuation added the mode several pump steps late and snapped it to its already-large amplitude. Root cause: gain clamping pins an above-threshold mode's gain margin alpha at ~0^- (often only ~1e-4 negative), the same magnitude as the hard-coded "add when alpha < -1e-4" cutoff -- so the test fired late and grid-dependently (even later on a finer grid). Tighten the cutoff to -1e-6 so the mode is added right at its alpha<0 crossing and ramps continuously; the a<1e-4 drop rule remains the safety net against false adds. Result: continuous, grid-independent onsets; no jump, no dip. All newton/slope/ multimode/functional tests pass. Example figure regenerated; stale "dip reads as data" marker comment removed. https://claude.ai/code/session_01EH6xEV2sQozKjjH6vNKjyC --- examples/intensity_methods/chaotic_ring_multimode.py | 4 +--- netsalt/modes.py | 10 +++++++++- 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/examples/intensity_methods/chaotic_ring_multimode.py b/examples/intensity_methods/chaotic_ring_multimode.py index 478265e9..1e0aa63e 100644 --- a/examples/intensity_methods/chaotic_ring_multimode.py +++ b/examples/intensity_methods/chaotic_ring_multimode.py @@ -203,9 +203,7 @@ def _plot_li(ax, grid_lin, linear, n_cols, newton, thr, cmap, xmax=None): if thr[m] < (xmax if xmax is not None else np.inf): ax.axvline(thr[m], color=col, ls=":", lw=0.8, alpha=0.6) ax.plot(grid_lin, linear[m], "--", color=col, lw=1.3, alpha=0.8) - # markers: newton's values are discrete per-pump equilibria.

Rev. A 82, 063824, Eq. 28) and the competition matrix lase TWO. Root cause (proven by a steady-state probe): the hole burning sampled |E_v(x)|^2 as the per-edge MEAN, which washes out the standing-wave nodes/antinodes and over-estimates mode overlap -> the saturated operator over-clamps and the SPA two-mode state is not even singular in it. Fix: resolve the within-edge field. `oversample_size=None` now auto-picks a wavelength-resolving sub-edge size (`_auto_oversample_size`, ~lambda/6, node-capped). With it, full_salt_newton lases both modes on line_PRA with intensities within a few % of the linear/Ge values near threshold, reduces to linear at threshold, and adds the genuine full-SALT bend above threshold. Pass oversample_size=0 for the old bare-edge behaviour. This overturns the earlier "newton lases fewer modes = gain-clamping suppression" claim -- that was the under-resolution artifact, not physics. Narrative corrected throughout: - modes.py: solver docstring + the new helper; self-consistent-active-set framing. - doc/source/lasing.rst: "how many modes lase" section + a warning about the resolution requirement + the Ge Eq. 28 validation. - examples/intensity_methods/{README,compare,simple_graphs,...}: simple graphs now show newton == linear count (line/ring 2, tree 1) with the above-threshold bend, not suppression; two_ring/chaotic re-run. - benchmark/bench_salt.py, CLAUDE.md: same correction. Cost: oversampling eigensolves on a larger graph (~3x the newton test time even at resolution lambda/6); multimode test D0_steps trimmed to keep CI tractable. An analytic coherent within-edge hole-burning integral (as the competition matrix already does) would avoid oversampling -- noted as follow-up.

Replace the probe with an analytic onset scale: by Hellmann-Feynman the operator's threshold self-saturation is Gamma_mu * chi_raw with chi_raw = sum_pump l_e |E_e|^2 ^2, so the Newton onset slope is 1/(Gamma_mu chi_raw D0_thr) against the linear 1/(T_mu_mu D0_thr); the unit factor is Gamma_mu*chi_raw / T_mu_mu. It is finite by construction, never degenerates, and reduces the curves to the linear/SPA onset slope at threshold exactly. Diagnosis behind the change (single-mode discriminator, raw a vs rescaled vs linear): the residual above-threshold rise is *not* a normalisation bug but the genuine exact-spatial-SALT correction -- the SPA linearises the hole burning (1/(1+x) ~ 1-x) and under-counts saturation, so the operator solve sits above it (~10% above the SPA at 3x threshold on a near-uniform ring mode, matching the analytic exact-vs-SPA estimate; larger for strongly delocalised modes).

Root cause: the analytic Hellmann-Feynman onset scale (committed in the prior change) over-estimated the operator's true onset slope by ~10-30%, lifting the whole curve. A clean single-mode test made this unambiguous: newton's single-mode amplitude is *linear* (constant ratio to the SPA), so the discrepancy is a pure scale offset, not convexity or competition. Fix: go back to *measuring* the onset slope -- but probe at 1.2*D0_thr (solidly lasing) instead of the old 1.05*D0_thr, which let the bounded solve settle on the trivial a=0 root and silently degenerate.

A parallel rewrite of this solver (since discarded) broke the Ge-Chong-Stone two-mode validation on line_PRA while the full test suite stayed green; instrumented traces on that code isolated two latent hazards that exist in this lineage's loop too, plus the missing test pin. 1. Single-add active set. Previously every candidate passing the alpha < -1e-6 gain probe was added in one sweep. Adding several at once hands the coupled trust-region solve a multistable warm start: on line_PRA a simultaneous three-mode add converged to the wrong basin, zeroing the dominant mode (it survived only via re-add luck). Now candidates are probed on the saturated background and added one per sweep, most above-threshold first; the sweep bound doubles to keep worst-case adds within budget. 2. Threshold bootstrap. A mode sitting exactly at its noninteracting threshold has alpha = 0, which every negative cutoff rejects, so the first mode turned on one pump step late. An empty active set is now bootstrapped directly from the lowest-threshold candidate (exact on the unsaturated background), with a per-step guard against re-adding a bootstrapped mode whose amplitude vanished. 3. Probe window consistency. The turn-on probe used a fixed k_window of 0.3 while the solve confines k to 0.2x the mode spacing (max 0.1) -- the probe could settle on a branch the solve cannot reach. The probe now uses the same spacing-tracking window. 4. Regression test (the pin): test_two_mode_competition_negative_kink asserts on an independent line fixture that the second mode lases past its interacting threshold and the dominant is suppressed below its un-kinked single-mode line -- the two properties whose silent loss the audit found. Ge Fig. 6 validation unchanged-good: line_PRA lases [3,4]; dominant 0.212 (below the SPA 0.227 -- negative kink; exact 0.205); second 0.099 (above the SPA 0.083; exact 0.108); isolated dominant reduces to the linear onset slope. 116 tests pass; ruff and docs clean. https://claude.ai/code/session_01EH6xEV2sQozKjjH6vNKjyC --- netsalt/modes.py | 84 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ tests/test_unit.py | 57 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 119 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) diff --git a/netsalt/modes.py b/netsalt/modes.py index 3e2c6cd2..3b602c40 100644 --- a/netsalt/modes.py +++ b/netsalt/modes.py @@ -1652,11 +1652,18 @@ def _full_salt_newton_impl( whose residual re-ran an inner fixed point and chattered. * **Self-consistent active set.** The pump is stepped up; at each step the confirmed lasing set is solved, modes whose amplitude vanishes are dropped, - and a non-lasing candidate is added when it has net gain (``α < 0``) on the - *current saturated background*.

Filter out columns whose pixel count exceeds 1.5x the median line thickness (a column crossing a hollow marker is ~3x thicker); the cleaned spa_second line now extrapolates to zero at 0.8991, matching the paper's stated 0.899. The comparison plot uses one color per mode (style tells the series apart) and shows the second mode's SPA line only above its threshold, where the digitization is meaningful.

systematic Document where the +0.03 interacting-threshold offset against Ge-Chong-Stone actually comes from. Digitizing the paper's Fig. 3(b) by marker centroid shows netsalt's noninteracting thresholds match the four modes at and below the gain centre to <0.1%, but sit +0.3-0.4% high on the two modes above it; the second lasing mode (k=16.6) is one of those, and gain-clamping proximity (a*r ~ 0.83) amplifies its +0.33% by ~6x into the interacting threshold. The cross-saturation ratio T43/T33 = 0.765 matches the value implied by the paper's own reported SPA threshold (0.899), and netsalt's thresholds are unchanged at 2-4x finer pump stepping -- so the residual is a sub-half-percent model difference, not a resolution artifact.

On the two-ring multimode fixture they are non-deterministic run to run (same thresholds to 4 decimals, wildly different intensities), lock several modes to byte-identical values, and in some runs full_salt collapses every mode to zero at a pump 10x above all thresholds -- the per-pump competition-matrix rebuild is ill-conditioned in the strongly-multimode regime, and the rebuild path never threads a seeded rng into its eigensolves so ARPACK branch-picks among near-degenerate modes. On weakly-competing graphs (line / ring / tree) they only track linear within ~15%. Keep the two solvers worth trusting: - linear: fast, deterministic, exact between activation events, validated against the Ge-Chong-Stone SPA on line_PRA to +0.3%; - full_salt_newton: operator-level SALT, validated against the exact Fig. 6 data on line_PRA (dominant mode to -0.6%), deterministic (byte-identical two_ring intensities across runs), smooth multimode curves on the two-ring / chaotic-ring / dense-ring fixtures.

That made the near-threshold agreement with linear partly a calibration (it could never falsify the solver there), cost an extra solve per mode, carried a secant bias of up to a few % on modes whose curve already bends at 1.2x threshold, and had a known degenerate-probe failure mode patched by the 1.2x magic number. Replace it with the analytic first-order perturbation of the saturated operator's lasing condition. The hole-burning term is per-edge constant on the oversampled work graph -- exactly the structure pump_linear's coherent overlap integrals already handle -- so with P the pump overlap factor and H the same overlap weighted by the mode's hole-burning profile, holding Im(omega) = 0 gives s_newton = Im[gamma P / Q] / (D0_thr Gamma Im[gamma H / Q]), Q = 1 + gamma D0_thr P and the unit scale is s_linear/s_newton with s_linear = 1/(T_mumu D0_thr). No probe, no seed, exact first order for the operator actually solved. On line_PRA the analytic scale evaluates to ~1.00 for all six modes (0.991-1.008): the newton amplitude IS the linear modal intensity to first order, so near-threshold agreement between the solvers is now a genuine prediction. The measured probe deviated from it by up to 3.5% (its secant bias). The Ge-Chong-Stone Fig. 6 validation holds as a pure prediction: dominant 0.208 vs exact 0.210 at D0 = 1.258. The reduces-to-linear unit test now tests physics rather than calibration. 114 tests pass.

Shared params/pipeline/plotting helpers live in examples/_common.py. Figures are not committed (*.png and *.pdf are gitignored); each folder's run.sh reproduces them.

The profiles share the pump normalisation and are drawn as intensity-coloured edges on the oversampled graph, so the within-edge standing waves are resolved.

The figure has three -panels: the **graph geometry** (ring edges, chords, leads), the **full-range L–I**, -and a **zoom on the onset** (`linear` dashed, `newton` solid, thresholds dotted). -The zoom shows the modes switching on in turn — and that newton turns the fourth -mode on *well above* its bare threshold: gain clamping delays it until enough pump -is present, exactly what the clamping-free `linear` model misses. - -This deep-multimode regime (4–5 strongly-clustered thresholds) is exactly where -the solvers part ways — and where the cheap ones stop being reliable: - -- `linear` is exact between events (clean straight lines) but has no gain clamping, - so its count can be off either way (here it lases **3**, one fewer than newton, - because its frozen-profile competition matrix over-estimates suppression of the - fourth mode). -- `full_salt_newton` stays smooth and physical and imposes the exact - self-consistent gain clamping → **4 modes**. - -The chord layout is hard-coded (from a small seed scan), so the result is -reproducible regardless of the NumPy RNG. Run it with -`OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 python chaotic_ring_multimode.py`. - -### Newton-vs-linear consistency: `dense_ring_compare.py` - -A bigger, more strongly-competing graph — a **16-node ring with 10 chords** — -used to check *what should differ* between `full_salt_newton` and the -near-threshold `linear` model, and why. Both share the onset slope at threshold, -so they **coincide just above it**; above threshold they diverge because newton -re-solves each lasing mode's **profile** at the operating pump (so the spatial -holes, and hence the competition, shift), while `linear` freezes the profiles and -fixes `T`. The script prints a per-mode table (onset, near-threshold slope, -intensity at max) and overlays the curves (dashed linear / solid newton). The -signature: the **dominant** mode tracks linear closely (same onset, near-equal -initial slope, slope drifting as it saturates), while the **secondary** modes are -*reshuffled* — they switch on at different pumps and reach different intensities -than the frozen-profile model predicts (here one secondary lights up earlier and -stronger, another later and largely suppressed). Run it with -`OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 python dense_ring_compare.py`. - -### The same picture on the simple cavities: `simple_graphs_compare.py` - -The geometry + `linear` (dashed) vs `full_salt_newton` (solid) view applied to the -three textbook graphs from `compare_intensity_methods.py` — the **line** -(Fabry–Pérot), the **ring + leads**, and the **binary tree** splitter. With the -hole burning resolved, `full_salt_newton` **agrees with `linear` on the count**: -the line and ring lase **2** modes under both, the tree **1**.

The measured outcome corrects the assumed framing: competition -- not solver cost -- limits the lasing count. Even with gain broadened over all ten modes, a uniform pump lases only two (extended disorder modes overlap strongly; the winners clamp the gain), and full_salt_newton agrees with linear on the set while costing ~25 s vs ~0.1 s on the ~700-node oversampled work graph. The documented cost crossover sits at larger networks / co-lasing counts than this. Multimode buffon operation is the pump-optimisation story (netsalt.pump), not uniform pumping; many-mode-by-design is ../ring_chain. compare_and_plot gains passive_method= (contour for this graph) and per-solver sweep timings.

The naive more-loops-more-modes hypothesis is falsified by the measurement: 6 chords lase 3 (linear) / 4 (newton); 10 and 14 chords collapse to single-mode despite holding more modes under the gain. The participation column shows the mechanism: the modes delocalise monotonically (mean participation 7.9 -> 8.4 -> 8.9) and the gain-window cluster reshuffles, raising overlap until the first mode clamps the gain for the rest. Together with ring_chain (localisation by detuning -> one mode per ring) and mini_buffon (extended disorder modes -> 2 of 10 lase) this pins the design rule: multimode lasing needs localised modes, not spectral density. The participation helper nudges threshold modes off the exactly singular lasing point before the eigensolve (same guard as the field-intensity helper) -- the 10-chord config crashed ARPACK's LU without it.

- high uniform pump (D0 <= 1.2): 5 (linear) / 4 (newton) modes lase -- the same uniform pump swept 3x further buys the modes back. On this network pump strength is the simplest route to more co-lasing modes; - shaped pump at the same ceiling: every variant probed (greedy low-cross-saturation targets from the competition matrix, several target counts and ownership margins) lased FEWER modes (2-3) than uniform -- removing pump area raises all thresholds faster than the decoupling pays back. Pump shaping selects which modes lase (the Nat. Commun. optimisation lever), it does not multiply the count; the shaped stage is kept to document that trade-off honestly. _common: threshold_modes/compare_and_plot/mode_profile_figure accept a custom pump and output-name prefix; the profile warm start tolerates modes lasing under only one solver (KeyError on linear-only modes).

Trivial-root capture: bootstraps/adds warm-started at the 1e-3 floor, inside the basin of the spurious a = 0 root of the bounded trust-region solve (the same trap the old measured onset probe dodged by probing at 1.2x threshold). Warm starts now use the physical linear-slope estimate (D0 - thr)/(T_ii thr); floor-level veterans get the same estimate at pump-step advances. 2. Root drift: a single active mode's fixed k-window of 0.1 spans many roots on a dense graph -- the failed bootstrap's k slid onto its near-degenerate twin (dk = 0.004), seeding identity swaps. Every solve's window is now capped by 0.2x the minimum spacing of the *full* candidate set (k_window_cap). 3. Wrong-basin jumps: SALT solutions are continuous in pump, so (a) an add after which a *higher-threshold* newcomer kills (a <= 1e-3) a *lower-threshold* veteran outright is an identity theft -- reverted, newcomer rejected at this pump (a genuine takeover leaves the veteran alive, or is led by the stronger mode); (b) a veteran collapsing >60% across a pump step triggers bisected sub-stepping (2/4/8) to stay in-basin, accepting with a loud warning only if the collapse is robust. Stillborn adds are not retried within a step. On mini-buffon the coarse and fine pump grids now agree everywhere: same physical low-pump branch (the lowest-threshold mode lases first, as it must), dominant mode tracking its linear reference to D0 ~ 0.6, and a single, reproducible, explicitly-warned branch exchange there (possibly genuine bistable switching; the falling total at the exchange is documented as an open question of frozen-field branch selection far above threshold). Example README/docstring updated from artifact-warning to fixed-status. Full suite passes (114) and the Ge-Chong-Stone regressions are unchanged.

Traced exhaustively -- it is a genuine mode crossing (mode 8 overtakes mode 6) that the frozen-field single-pole iteration renders by converging to a spurious *lower-total* fixed point, robustly across every relaxation level and pump step size (a controlled experiment showed 1 vs 6 field-refreshes only change how fast it falls there, not whether). A falling total output with rising pump is unphysical for a steady-state laser, so the branch is spurious; but the method cannot resolve the per-mode split at the crossing without a constant-flux-state basis. Fixes landed (each traced to a concrete failure on this graph): - linear-slope warm starts for bootstraps/adds (the 1e-3 floor sat in the basin of the trivial a=0 root far above threshold); - candidate-spacing cap on every solve's k-window (a lone active mode's fixed 0.1 window spanned many roots on a dense spectrum, letting k drift onto a near-degenerate twin); - add-time continuity guard on two physical invariants: a lower-threshold veteran killed outright by a higher-threshold newcomer (total-preserving twin identity-swap), and a drop in total output (partial collapse); - a total-output ratchet: the steady-state total cannot fall as the pump rises, so when it would, hold any collapsing mode at its last value (new modes still join and grow). The dominant curve plateaus at the crossing -- flagged by a warning -- and the total L-I stays monotone and physical, instead of kinking down. Coarse and fine pump grids now agree and both totals are monotone. The ratchet never triggers on a well-separated spectrum, so the Ge-Chong-Stone line_PRA validation is unchanged; full suite passes (114). Per-mode magnitudes across the crossing remain at the method's resolution limit (documented in examples/mini_buffon); resolving them fully needs a CF-state SALT solver.

A per-edge constant gain washes out the within-edge structure that lets modes share the gain. (Series expansion also fails: 1/(1+s) diverges at s>1.) - coarser oversampling: no win, discriminating lambda-scale modes needs lambda-scale gain resolution in the operator regardless. The CF basis is the principled fix: exact graph eigenfunctions, so overlap integrals are analytic (no oversampling) AND the basis carries the spatial structure that resolves multimode. Foundation validated on line_PRA: the quantum-graph TCF eigenproblem is the secular matrix with per-edge dielectric eps + eta*pump, singular for the CF eigenvalues eta_n(k) -- a nonlinear eigenproblem in eta at fixed real k. The threshold CF eigenvalue lands EXACTLY at gamma(k_thr)*D0_thr (|lambda1|=6e-7, 0.00% error) on the original 11-node graph, no oversampling. Plan: Beyn-in-eta CF basis finder (reuse contour.py extraction), analytic overlaps, SALT-in-CF-basis fixed point (Eq. 28), validation milestones ending at the real buffon at native node count.

Beyn in the eta-plane -- the natural reuse of contour.py -- does NOT work on a quantum graph: tested on line_PRA it returns a wrong (absorbing) root and misses the validated threshold root even with a tight contour around it. Root cause: the graph secular matrix depends on eta through sqrt(eps + eta*pump) in the per-edge wavenumber, so L(eta) is non-analytic (branch points) and the CF eigenvalue is a soft near-null, not a clean simple pole -- Beyn's Cauchy integral cannot extract it. This is the key difference from the continuous CF operator (Eq. 17), which is linear in eta. A coarse |lambda1(eta)| grid scan also misses the basis (isolated roots). So the basis finder is genuine research; documented the candidate routes (nonlinear root-finding in eta seeded from passive/UCF guesses; a linear-in-eta but meshed reformulation; or a hybrid).

Measured on the real buffon network (96 edges, inner_total_length 2500): newton runs in ~12 s at the default cap and ~6 min uncapped at lambda/4 (~30k nodes), lasing its co-lasing modes. The earlier estimate computed inner_length/(lambda/12) and ignored the cap entirely. Expose the speed/accuracy trade: oversample_resolution and oversample_node_cap are now params of full_salt_newton (and config keys intensity_oversample_resolution / intensity_oversample_node_cap). On a large graph the default cap reduces the effective resolution below lambda/12, so raise it when modal magnitudes matter. Defaults unchanged (12 / 3000), so existing behaviour is byte-identical; 7 newton unit tests pass. Also: a resolution sweep on line_PRA shows the 2-mode discrimination floor is ~lambda/4 (3x coarser than the hardcoded lambda/12), count preserved with ~5% magnitude drift -- the basis for the lambda/4 buffon run. Adds examples/buffon/.../buffon_2modes_newton (operator-level SALT on the real buffon) and corrects the buffon-scale framing in CLAUDE.md, lasing.rst, and the CF design note (whose infeasibility premise no longer holds).
