Thermal photon statistics in laser light above threshold | | Holger F. Hofmann

4 Mar 1999 | | Journal: | Phys.Rev. A62 (2000) 063807 | | Subject: | Quantum Physics; Optics; Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems | quant-ph adap-org cond-mat nlin.AO physics.optics | | Abstract: | We show that the reduction in photon number fluctuations at laser threshold often cited as a fundamental laser property does not occur in typical semiconductor lasers such as the ones commonly used in modern technological applications today. Indeed, such lasers may still exhibit thermal intensity fluctuations far above threshold. We therefore conclude that sub-thermal intensity fluctuations cannot be regarded as a necessary property of laser light. Rather, one should distinguish betwen a thermal laser regime and a sub-thermal laser regime. | | Source: | arXiv, quant-ph/9903017 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
