The quantum theory of a three-mode laser

Show affiliations


The density operator theory and method are used to extend the fully quantum-mechanical theory of the two-level single-mode laser advanced by Sargent, Scully and Lamb (1974) to the homogeneously broadened four-level atomic system so that the master equation of the three-mode laser operation for this system is obtained. The steady-state operation characteristics of the laser in different cases are discussed and compared. Especially, pictorial comparison and discussion of the quantum-statistical properties of the laser are carried out by means of numerical computation. Meanwhile some experimental results obtained by Otsuka (1978) are qualitatively explained.
