LINEWIDTH OF A LASER WITH A SQUEEZED RESERVOIR

We present a detailed analysis of a laser model with a squeezed reservoir. The steady-state behavior is described by means of the moments and the variance of the field intensity as a function of the pump parameter and the amount of squeezing. The dynamic properties are contained in the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation. Because of a loss of phase symmetry, the model exhibits interesting features concerning its stationary as well as its dynamic behavior. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
