Complex networks based on discrete-mode lasers

We propose a method to combine a number of discrete-mode lasers to construct a complex network with a nontrivial topology. The topological properties of this network are only encoded in the selection of the active modes for each laser, while the optical fibre coupling between the lasers is trivial. In a very simplified model of this network, we establish the stability of the fixed point with all lasing modes switched on.
