The theory of a two-level quantum-beat laser is presented within the framework of the quantum theory of multiwave mixing. The diffusion coefficients for the relative and the mean of phase angles of the two modes are derived. It is shown that under suitable conditions the diffusion coefficient for the mean angle of the field modes vanishes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
