Abstract

The method of quantum trajectories is adopted to the problem of laser generation with variable number of active media atoms in the cavity. The approach is applied to an injection-locked sub-Poissonian laser. The onset of laser oscillations is studied for the case of simultaneous start of the injection and pumping. It is shown that in this case the generation regime reached, where the intra-cavity intensity goes down with increasing the synchronization.
