The photon statistics of multiphoton lasers with single photon losses

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

We investigate the photon statistics of a single-modem-photon laser in a generalized Scully-Lamb laser model. The solution for the stationary state is obtained by recursion although detailed balance is not available form≧2. The threshold condition is gained from a discussion of the photon distribution in the stationary state. At threshold we find no amplitude stabilization and somewhat above it there is bistability form≧2 giving rise to enhanced fluctuations. Increasing the pumping the bistability more and more disappears and the photon statistics become similar to the ones of a usual laser.
