Abstract

Strong light beam or exceeding threshold value can not be applicable by perturbative semiclassical theory.Nonperturbative semiclassical theory can resolve this problem.

A semiclassical theory of a two-photon laser

Ling Ao

The semiclassical lamb method is applied to the problem of a single mode two-photon laser (TPL). The steady-state solutions of the amplitude equation are obtained, their stability properties are analysed. It is found that, for TPL there exist threshold requirements both for pumping and for the light field intensity. The frequency equation predicts a mode-pulling effect.

Photon number distributions from a diode laser

Georgios Roumpos, Steven T. Cundiff

We use balanced homodyne detection to characterize light from a diode laser as it crosses the threshold. We measure the single-time second-order correlation function g(2), and also extract the photon number distribution. Just above the laser threshold, we find that the measured g(2) exceeds the prediction of the semiclassical single-mode laser model. From the reconstructed photon number distributions, we conclude that this excess is due to emission from nonlasing modes. For higher pumping current, the light noise increases due to a different mechanism, possibly mode competition or mode partition noise.

Nonperturbative theory of inhomogeneous effects in gas lasers

Susan M. Scott

The self-consistent field approximation (SCFA)[1]-[4] is used to calculate the steady-state mode energies and frequency shifts for a gas laser. The SCFA is a statistical approximation which was shown[3] to be accurate for small values of a parameter (\gamma^{2}N), which is always small for gas lasers. The SCFA is simpler and more convenient for studying the complicated dynamical effects that occur in gas lasers than the more recent[5]-[8] quantum theoretical models. It does not, of course, give any new description of the laser photon statistics, since the approximation treats the field as a pure coherent state[9] and is, therefore, equivalent to the semiclassical theory. The main results of this paper are to show how dynamical effects can be calculated nonperturbatively for arbitrary values of the field strength, and to analyze the different roles played by different kinds of inhomogeneous effects in gas lasers. These inhomogeneous effects are due to the dependence of the atomic inversion density on the atomic positions and velocities. Some numerical results are given which show that the nonperturbative theory can explain some effects not previously explained by perturbation theories. [1], [2].
