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.

Lamb's semiclassical theory of the laser is used to analyze the effect of shot noise and thermal noise on laser performance. A Fokker--Planck equation is derived for the probability distribution of the laser field when shot noise and thermal noise are present. Conditions for bunching or antibunching are derived and the results are compared with those for one-photon lasers.
