Abstract: We propose a method to stabilize Laughlin states of a large number of strongly interacting photons by combining a frequency-selective incoherent pump with a steplike potential in the angular momentum basis. Analytical expressions for the preparation efficiency and for the principal error sources are obtained. Direct extension of the preparation scheme to states containing single or multiple quasiholes is discussed.
