Abstract

It is shown that the field emitted by a free-electron laser oscillating on a single mode in the no-gain regime can exhibit antibunching. The quantum-statistical properties of field are also discussed.Received 21 December 1982DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.28.328©1983 American Physical Society

Photon statistics and squeezing properties of a free-electron laser

Suranjana Rai, S. Chopra

It is shown that the field emitted by a free-electron laser (FEL) in the low-gain regime exhibits antibunching over a wide range, for an initial Poisson distribution of probability amplitudes. We also investigate the variance of the momentum coordinate, and find the FEL state to be squeezed.

Photon statistics of a free-electron laser

Wilhelm Becker, Muhammad Suhail Zubairy

A fully quantized theory of the free-electron laser in the small-signal regime is presented which allows for a calculation of the photon statistics. For an initial vacuum, we find photon antibunching if the electron momentum is below resonance. We conjecture that, in general, the free-electron laser preserves coherent states only in the absence of gain.
