Influence of Signal and Noise on Statistical Fluctuation of Single-Mode Laser System

On the basis of calculating the steady-state mean normalized intensity fluctuation of a signal-mode laser system driven by both colored pump noise with signal modulation and the quantum noise with cross-correlation between its real and imaginary parts, we analyze the influence of modulation signal, noise, and its correlation form on the statistical fluctuation of the laser system. We have found that when the amplitude of modulation signal weakens and its frequency quickens, the statistical fluctuation will reduce rapidly. The statistical fluctuation of the laser system can be restrained by reducing the intensity of pump noise and quantum noise. Moreover, with prolonging of colored cross-correlation time, the statistical fluctuation of laser system experiences a repeated changing process, that is, from decreasing to augmenting,then to decreasing, and finally to augmenting again. With the decreasing of the value of cross-correlation coefficient, the statistical fluctuation will decrease too. When the cross-correlation form between the real part and imaginary part of quantum noise is zero correlation, the statistical fluctuation of laser system has a minimum. Compared with the influence of intensity of pump noise, the influence of intensity of quantum noise on the statistical fluctuation is smaller.

Stochastic resonance in a gain--noise model of a single-mode laser driven by pump noise and quantum noise with cross-correlation between real and imaginary parts under direct signal modulation

Stochastic resonance (SR) is studied in a gain--noise model of a single-mode laser driven by a coloured pump noise and a quantum noise with cross-correlation between real and imaginary parts under a direct signal modulation. By using a linear approximation method, we find that the SR appears during the variation of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) separately with the pump noise self-correlation time \tau , the noise correlation coefficient between the real part and the imaginary part of the quantum noise \lambda_q , the attenuation coefficient \gamma and the deterministic steady-state intensity I_0 . In addition, it is found that the SR can be characterized not only by the dependence of SNR on the noise variables of \tau and \lambda_q, but also by the dependence of SNR on the laser system variables of \gamma and I₀. Thus our investigation extends the characteristic quantity of SR proposed before.     

Stochastic Resonance in a Single-Mode Laser Driven by Pump Noise and Quantum Noise with Cross-Correlated Real and Imaginary Parts

We present an analytic investigation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by studying a signal modulated model of a single-mode laser system driven by pump noise and quantum noise with correlated real and imaginary parts,and find there is a maximum in the curve of the dependence of SNR upon the cross-correlation coefficient λq between the real part and the imaginary part, i.e., stochastic resonance appears in the SNR vs. λq curve. Moreover, when the SNR is at the maximum, the cross-correlation coefficient λq = O, which is coincidentally at the minimum of the mean normalized intensity fluctuation. The influences on stochastic resonance by the intensities of the pump and the quantum noise, the amplitude of the modulation signal, and the net gain of the laser are also studied. Furthermore, in order to ensure that the results obtained in this paper is reliable, the valid range for the linear approximation method is discussed.

Moments of the intensity of a single-mode laser driven by coloured pump noises with a cross-correlation between the real and imaginary parts of the quantum noise

By means of the unified coloured noise approximation and phase lock, we study in this paper the stationary intensity distribution of the single-mode laser cubic model driven by coloured pump noise with cross-correlation between the real and imaginary parts of the quantum noise. We present a thorough discussion of how the cross-correlation λ_q between the real and imaginary parts of the quantum noise and the self-correlation time τ of the pump noise determine the behaviours of the mean intensity 〈I〉 and variance λ_2 (0) for both below and above the threshold operation, and many new phenomena are discovered. When the laser is operated above the threshold, increasing the cross-correlation intensity λ_q makes the 〈I 〉－τ curves exhibit a "re-entrant phase transition". Whether the laser is above or below the threshold, the whole 〈I 〉－τ curve moves down as λ_q increases; however, when λ_q=1 (perfect cross-correlation), the curve abruptly runs up. A nonzero value of cross-correlation time τ (τ≠0) leads to the entire λ_2(0)－p′ curve being suppressed (here p′ is the pump noise intensity). This indicates the increasing precision of the laser beam due to the existence of the self-correlation time τ. The behaviour of the λ_2 (0)－p′ curve as a function of λ_q is similar to that of the 〈I 〉－τ curve against λ_q: that is, whether the laser is above or below the threshold, the λ_2 (0)－p′ curve moves up as λ_q increases; however, when λ_q=1, the curve suddenly moves down. Through the study in this paper, we can find a way to optimize for output laser intensity.τ     

Steady-State Analysis of a Two-Mode Laser System with Cross-Correlation Between Real and Imaginary Parts of Quantum Noise

An inhomogeneously broadened two-mode laser system with cross-correlations between the real and imag- inary parts of quantum noise is considered. The Fokker-Planek equation of the system is derived by the phase-locking method. The steady-state probability distribution, the mean light intensity, the normalization autocorrelation function, and cross correlation function are calculated. The results indicate that： （i） The cross-correlation between the real and imaginary parts of quantum noise can cause the stationary probability distribution from one peak structure to two extrema structure when the laser system is operated above threshold; （ii） The cross-correlation between the real and imaginary parts of quantum noise enhance the light intensity fluctuation and decrease the laser output when the laser system is operated below or near threshold; （iii） The effect of the cross-correlation between the real and imaginary parts of quantum noise is very weak on the stationary properties when the laser system is operated far above threshold.

Effects of correlations between the real and imaginary parts of quantum noise on intensity fluctuation for a saturation laser model

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.

Influence of the net gain on characteristic of stochastic resonance in a single-mode laser system

The phenomenon of stochastic resonance (SR) is found in a single-mode laser system driven by the colored pump noise with signal modulation and the quantum noise with cross-correlation between the real and imaginary parts. When the net gain a0 changes, it is found that, 1) the shape of the curve of the signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) versus the pump noise self-correlation time T exhibits a changing process of multiform SR, from single-peak SR to simultaneous existence of resonances and suppressions; 2) the curve of SNR versus signal frequency Ω experiences a complicated changing process from the monotonous descending to the simultaneous appearances of a maximum and a minimum, and finally to monotonous descending; 3)the curve of SNR versus cross-correlation coefficient between the real and imaginary parts of the quantum noise λq appears an acute single-peak SR. Therefore, the net gain a0 greatly influences the characteristic of SR of laser system.     

Time evolution of the intensity correlation function in a single-mode laser driven by both the coloured pump noise with signal modulation and the quantum noise with cross-correlation between the real and imaginary parts

Using the linear approximation, we have studied the time evolution of intensity correlation function C（t） in a single-mode laser driven by both the colored pump noise with signal modulation and the quantum noise with cross-correlation between its real and imaginary parts. In the case of the pump noise self-correlation time, we find that the time evolution of C（t） varies with modulation signal frequency Ω, amplitude B, and net gain ɑ0. (i) As the Ω increases, the time evolution of C（t） experiences a process changing from the monotonous descension to the descension with a flat appearing initially, and finally to the a form of damping oscillation; (ii) As the B increases, it experiences from monotonous descension to the appearance of a maximum; (iii) As the net gain ɑ0 increases, it experiences a process repeatedly changing from the monotonous descension to monotonous ascension, and to the appearance of a maximum, finally to monotonous descension again. However, in the case of, the time evolution of C（t） only exhibits a form of damping oscillation .     

Influence of Noise on Time Evolution of Intensity Correlation Function

Using the linear approximation method, we have studied how the correlation function C（t） of the laser intensity changes with time in the loss-noise model of the single-mode laser driven by the colored pump noise with signal modulation and the quantum noise with cross-correlation between the real and imaginary parts. We have found that when the pump noise self-correlation time T changes, （i） in the case of r 〈〈 1, the C（t） vs. t curve experiences a changing process from the monotonous descending to monotonous rise, and finally to the appearance of a maximum; （ii） in the case of r 〉〉 1, the curve only exhibits periodically surging with descending envelope. When r 〈〈 i and T does not change, with the increase of the pump noise intensity P, the curve experiences a repeated changing process, that is, from the monotonous descending to the appearance of a maximum, then to monotonous rise, and finally to the appearance of a maximum again. With the increase of the quantum noise intensity O,, the curve experiences a changing process from the monotonous rise to the appearance of a maximum, and finally to the monotonous descending. The increase of the quantum noise with cross-correlation between the real and imaginary parts will lead to the fall of the whole curve, but not affect the form of the time evolution of C（t）.     

Intensity correlation time of a single-mode laser driven by two coloured noises with coloured cross-correlation with direct signal modulation

In this paper, the intensity correlation time T is studied for the gain-noise model of a single-mode laser driven by coloured pump noise and coloured quantum noise with coloured cross-correlation with a direct signal modulation. By using the linear approximation method, it is found that when the pump noise is modulated directly by a signal, the effects of the cross-correlation between the pump noise and the quantum noise will disappear. In addition, there exists a maximum (i.e. resonance) in the curve of the intensity correlation time $T$ versus the pump noise self-correlation time \tau¹. Furthermore, when \tau¹\le\tau², the intensity correlation time T increases monotonically with the increase of $D$ and decreases monotonically with the increase of Q, but when \tau¹>\tau², the intensity correlation time T increases monotonically with the increase of Q and decreases monotonically with the increase of D.
