Steady-state analysis of a single-mode laser with correlations between additive and multiplicative noise

Abstract

The statistical fluctuations of a single-mode laser with correlations between additive and multiplicative white-noise terms are investigated theoretically. The mean, variance, and skewness of the steady-state laser intensity are calculated through a one-dimensional laser equation. Compared with a laser model of independent noises, the fluctuation appearing in the laser field is much larger. © 1993 The American Physical Society.
