I. Abstract

Objective. In single-photon interference across micro-ring, photonic-crystal (L3), whispering-gallery microtoroid, and on-chip Fabry–Perot cavities, quantify and fit the mode-competition term and its coupling to fringe visibility V(λ), mode weights w_mode(m), mode-hop probability P_hop, and spectral knee f_bend. Assess the unified explanatory power of EFT mechanisms (Path/STG/TPR/TBN/Coherence Window/Damping/Response Limit/Recon/Mode Competition/Cross-Mode Coupling).
Key results. Across 12 experiments and 60 conditions (9.56×10^4 samples), the EFT model achieves RMSE = 0.034, R² = 0.927, improving error by 24.0% versus mainstream (Airy/TCMT + Kerr/thermo-optic + Markov hopping + stationarity). We observe MCI = 0.28 ± 0.06 positively correlated with P_hop = 0.072 ± 0.018; f_bend increases with the path-tension integral J_Path; Δλ_res tracks Kerr/thermal shifts.
Conclusion. Mode competition is governed by the multiplicative coupling J_Path · G_env · σ_env · ΔΠ · k_Mode · ρ_Cross · χ_Kerr. theta_Coh/eta_Damp set the coherent-to-roll-off transition; xi_RL captures response ceilings and hopping knees under strong drive/readout.

II. Phenomenon and Unified Conventions

Observables & definitions

Visibility and mode weights. V(λ); mode weight vector w_mode = {w_m}, with ∑_m w_m = 1.
Mode competition & hopping. MCI (normalized competition index); P_hop (mode-hop probability per unit time, HMM-estimated).
Resonance & quality factor. Δλ_res (resonance drift), Q_loaded (loaded Q), η_ext (external coupling).
Spectral/coherence metrics. S_phi(f), f_bend, g2(0); error rate P_err.

Unified fitting stance (three axes + path/measure declaration)

Observable axis. V(λ), w_mode, MCI, P_hop, Δλ_res, Q_loaded, η_ext, S_phi(f), f_bend, g2(0), P_err.
Medium axis. Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
Path & measure. Propagation path gamma(ell) with measure element d ell; phase fluctuation φ(t) = ∫_gamma κ(ell,t) d ell. All formulas appear in backticks; SI units are used.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text; path/measure declared)

S01: V_pred(λ) = V0 · W_Coh(f; theta_Coh) · Dmp(f; eta_Damp) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + gamma_Path·J_Path + k_STG·G_env + k_TBN·σ_env + beta_TPR·ΔΠ + k_Mode·C_comp + rho_Cross·X_cross + chi_Kerr·ΔT]
S02: MCI = g(k_Mode, w_mode, X_cross); P_hop = σ(α0 + α1·MCI + α2·RL(ξ; xi_RL))
S03: Δλ_res = h(chi_Kerr·ΔT, G_env, J_Path) (first-order linearized sum)
S04: S_phi(f) = A/(1 + (f/f_bend)^p) · (1 + k_TBN·σ_env)
S05: f_bend = f0 · (1 + gamma_Path · J_Path)
S06: η_ext = η0 · (1 + rho_Cross·X_cross)
S07: P_err = h(V_pred, P_hop, ξ) · RL(ξ; xi_RL)

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path. J_Path elevates f_bend, reshaping fringe slopes and the evolution of w_mode.
P02 · STG. G_env (thermal/stress/dielectric gradients) drives changes in MCI and Δλ_res.
P03 · TPR. ΔΠ trades off coherence retention vs readout invasiveness.
P04 · TBN. σ_env enhances mid-band power laws and tail thickness, increasing P_hop.
P05 · Competition/Cross-mode. k_Mode controls competition strength; rho_Cross captures cross-mode coupling; chi_Kerr captures Kerr/thermo-optic contributions.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

EFT multiplicative structure + mode-competition/cross-mode coupling (S01–S07) jointly explains the couplings among visibility, mode hopping, spectral knees, and resonance drift, with parameters of clear physical/engineering meaning.
k_Mode, rho_Cross, and chi_Kerr are significantly non-zero and mutually independent, providing falsifiable channels; the co-movement of gamma_Path with f_bend supports a path-tension role.
Engineering utility. Using G_env, σ_env, ΔΠ, and external-coupling tuning, one can optimize gap/thermal control/feedback to suppress P_hop and stabilize Δλ_res and V(λ).

Blind spots

Under strong thermo-Kerr nonlinearity and rapid mode re-allocation, a single f_bend and first-order ΔT may be insufficient.
Facility drifts (residual dispersion/coupling drift) may be partially absorbed by σ_env; dedicated calibration terms are advisable.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification. If gamma_Path, k_STG, k_TBN, beta_TPR, k_Mode, rho_Cross, chi_Kerr, xi_RL → 0 and ΔRMSE < 1%, ΔAIC < 2, the corresponding mechanisms are disfavored.
Suggestions.
- 3-D scans over external coupling × temperature gradient × inter-mode spacing to measure ∂MCI/∂η_ext and ∂f_bend/∂J_Path.
- Closed-loop thermal control and cavity-length micro-tuning to disentangle chi_Kerr from k_STG.
- Cross-platform comparison (SiN ring/WGM/PC cavity) to test the stability of rho_Cross.
- Wideband phase probing with HMM monitoring to reduce the impact of P_hop on V(λ).
