Analyses of Valid Range for the Linear Approximation in a Single-Mode Laser

Using the linear approximation method, we calculated the steady-state mean normalized intensity fluctu-ation for a loss-noise model of a single-mode laser driven by a pump noise and a quantum noise, whose real part andimaginary part are cross-correlated. We analyzed the valid range for thelinear approximation method by studying theinfluences on the steady-state mean normalized intensity fluctuation by the cross-correlation coefficient, the intensities ofthe quantum and pump noise, the net gain, and the amplitude and frequency of the input signal, and we found that thevalid range becomes wider when the cross-correlation between the real and imaginary part of quantum noise is weaker,the noise intensities of quantum and pump are weaker, the laser system is far from the threshold and the signal hassmaller amplitude and higher frequency.

Intensity Correlation Function of a Single-Mode Laser Driven by Two Colored Noises with Colored Cross-Correlation

By using the linear approximation method, the intensity correlation function and the intensity correlation time are calculated in a gain-noise model of a single-mode laser driven by colored cross-correlated pump noise and quantum noise, each of which is colored. We detect that, when the cross-correlation between both noises is negative, the behavior of the intensity correlation function C(t) versus time t, in addition to decreasing monotonously, also exhibits several other cases, such as one maximum, one minimum, and two extrema (one maximum and one minimum), i.e., some parameters of the noises can greatly change the dependence of the intensity correlation function upon time.

Steady-State Analysis of a Single-Mode Laser Driven by Colored Pump Noise withCross-Correlation Between Real and Imaginary Parts of Quantum Noise

Applying the method of the unified colored noise approximation and phase lock, we study in this paper the stationary intensity distribution of the single-mode laser driven by colored pump noise with cross-correlation between the real and imaginary parts of the quantum noise. We present a thorough discussion of how the cross-correlation λq between the realand imaginary parts of the quantum noise and the self-correlation time τ of the pump noise determine the behaviors of the stationary distribution Qst(I), the mean (I), and the variance λ2(0) of the laser intensity. It is shown that cross-correlation intensity λq of the complex quantum noise can induce a first-order-like transition. When the pump noise is colored noise (τ≠ 0), improving the pump parameters monotonously will make the curves of Qst(I)exhibit reentrant phase transition. The fluctuations of laser intensity are strongly influenced by λq and τ when the laser is operated near or below threshold. Especially when τ≠ 0, the heights of the peaks of the curves of λ2(0)-a0 and λ3(0)-a0, (here a0 is the net gain coefficient) go up as λq increases. However the entire curves of λ2(0)-a0 and λ3(0)-a0are abruptly suppressed when λq = 1, in similarity to phase transition of stationary intensity distribution.

Intensity Correlation Function of a Single-Mode Laser Driven by Colored Cross-Correlation Noises in Modulation of a Bias Signal

By using the linear approximation method, the intensity correlation function is calculated for a single-mode laser modulated by a bias signal and driven by colored pump and quantum noises with colored cross-correlation. We found that, when the correlation time between the two noises is very short, the behavior of the intensity correlation function versus the time, in addition to decreasing monotonously, also exhibits several cases, such as one maximum, one minimum, and two extrema. When the correlation time between the two noises is very long, the behavior of the intensity correlation function exhibits oscillation and the envelope is similar to the case of short cross-correlation time.

Stationary Intensity Distribution of Single－Mode Laser Driven by Additive and Multiplicative Colored Noises with Colored Cross－Correlation

Applying the approximate Fokker-Planck equation we derived, we obtain the analytic expression of the stationary laser intensity distribution Pst(l) by studying the single-mode laser cubic model subject to colored cross-correlation additive and multiplicative noise, each of which is colored. Based on it, we discuss the effects on the stationary laser intensity distribution Pot(I) by cross-correlation between noises and "color" of noises (non-Markovian effect) when the laser system is above the threshold. In detail, we analyze two cases: One is that the three correlation-times (i.e.the self-correlation and cross-correlation times of the additive and multiplicative noise) are chosen to be the same value(Tl=T2=T3=T). For this case, the effect of noise cross-correlation is investigated emphatically, and we detect that only when λ≠ 0 can the noise-induced transition occur in the Pst (I) curve, and only when T≠ 0 and λ≠0, can the "reentrant noise-induced transition" occur. The other case is that the three correlation times are not the same value,T1≠T2≠T3. For this case, we find that the noise-induced transition occurring in the Pst(I) curve is entirely different when the values of T1,T2, and T3 are changed respectively. In particular, when T2 (serf-correlation time of additive noise) is cha^g~g, the ratio of the two maximums of the Pst( I) curve R exhibits an interesting phenomenon,"reentrant noise-induced transition", which demonstrates the effect of noise "color" (non-Markovian effect).
