| Abstract: | This paper studies the effects of cross-correlations between the
real and imaginary parts of quantum noise on the laser intensity in
a saturation laser model. It derives the analytic expressions of the
intensity correlation function ${C(\tau)}$ and the associated
relaxation time ${T({C})}$ in the case of a stable locked phase
resulting from the cross-correlation ${\lambda_q}$ between the real
and imaginary parts of quantum noise. Based on numerical
computations it finds that the presence of cross correlations
between the real and imaginary parts of quantum noise slow down the
decay of intensity fluctuation, i.e., it causes the increase of
intensity fluctuation. |
