On the temperature of nonequilibrium optical fields

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The dependence of the temperature of single-mode optical radiation on the relative dispersion of the number of photons is investigated. It is shown that the amplitude-stabilized field oscillator has a temperature twice as high as the oscillator excited by a heat source for the same mean energy. Further increase in the temperature of the stationary radiation field is possible by transition to nonclassical states not described by a positive definite quasi-probability function P(α).
