Theory for the Transient Statistics of a Dye Laser

FERDINANDO DE PASQUALE, José María Sancho, Maxi San Miguel, P. Tartaglia

Published Jun 9, 1986• 73 citations

Abstract

A theory is presented to explain the statistical properties of the growth of dye-laser radiation. Results are in agreement with recent experimental findings. The different roles of pump-noise intensity and correlation time are elucidated.

Modeling of dye-laser photon statistics

Fabio Marchesoni

We propose a model for dye lasers operating at resonance with a non-Gaussian fluctuating pump parameter. Analytical and numerical results are compared with recent experimental measurements on the intensity fluctuations of a dye laser and with previous theoretical predictions based on a fluctuating pump parameter of finite correlation time.

Correlation Functions of a Dye Laser: Comparison between Theory and Experiment

R. Short, L. Mandeļ, Rajarshi Roy

Experimentally determined intensity correlation functions of a single-mode dye laser are compared with theoretically predicted forms given in a recent paper by Graham, H\"ohnerbach, and Schenzle. Although good agreement is obtained in some cases for which the parameters are chosen for best fit, large discrepancies appear for other working points of the laser. These results suggest that the dynamical theory of the dye laser needs to be modified.

Quantum Fluctuations, Pump Noise, and the Growth of Laser Radiation

Rajarshi Roy, Anthony W. Yu, Shijun Zhu

We have measured the distribution of times for single-mode laser radiation to grow from an equilibrium spontaneous-emission background to a prescribed value of the intensity. These passage-time distributions are compared with the results of Monte Carlo simulations and demonstrate a new technique for the description of statistical fluctuations in lasers.

Investigation of photon statistics and correlations of a dye laser

Katsuji Kaminishi, Rajarshi Roy, R. Short +1 more

The probability distribution $p(n)$ for the detection of $n$ photons emitted by a single-mode dye laser in a short time at various excitations is measured, together with the distribution of time intervals between pairs of detected photons. The first measurement yields the probability density $\mathcal{p}(I)$ and the moments of the light intensity $I$, and the second one the two-time intensity-correlation function. Measurements are also performed at three different wavelengths. $\mathcal{p}(I)$ is found to have a two-component structure, and the relative intensity fluctuations $\frac{〈{(\ensuremath{\Delta}I)}^{2}〉}{{〈I〉}^{2}}$ grow, apparently without limit, as the excitation tends to zero, so that no thermal state is reached. A possible explanation in terms of pumping fluctuations is discussed. The correlation function has the form of a sum of three exponential functions, and the amplitudes and decay constants of the three components are derived. The effective decay-time constant exhibits a thirteenth-power-law dependence on frequency of the laser light.

The probability distribution p(n)p(n)p(n) for the detection of nnn photons emitted by a single-mode dye laser in a short time at various excitations is measured, together with the distribution of time intervals between pairs of detected photons.
