A quantum statistical analysis of an optical maser is presented in generalization of the recent
semiclassical theory of Lamb. Equations of motion for the density matrix of the quantized …

The quantum statistical properties of radiation represent an important branch of modern
physics with rapidly increasing applications in spectroscopy, quantum generators of …

Interference and diffraction phenomena of electromagnetic waves are usually described with
the aid of ideally coherent or ideally incoherent light beams. In the first case the amplitudes …

With the recent great expansion in optics and laser applications, several new areas of
research have emerged, among which are: the theory of coherence, photon statistics …

In this work we suggest a novel paradigm of social laser (solaser), which can explain such
Internet inspired social phenomena as echo chambers, reinforcement and growth of …

We report the reconstruction of the quantum state of squeezed vacuum generated by a
continuous-wave optical parametric amplifier. Homodyne detection and tomographic …

The line width of a well-stabilized laser operating far above threshold is determined by
random fluctuations of the phase. This paper discusses several types of experiments which …

Because of the relative narrowness of the threshold region, a general model for spectrally
pure self-sustained oscillators (both classical and quantum, including gas lasers) can be …

The fundamentals of photon counting using photomultipliers are described, including criteria
for selecting suitable photomultipliers, some of the precautions that must be taken in using …
