The Time-Dependent Moments and Correlation Functions of the Intensity of a Single-Mode Dye Lase

By combining linear approximation with Novikov theorem we derive first the time-dependen tmoments of laser intensity for colored saturation loss-noise, colored gain-noise and coloredloss-noise models of a singlemode dye laser. We analyze and compare the time-evolutioncharacter of timedependent moments of laser intensity for three models. The intensitycorrelation functions and correlation time for the colored saturation loss-noise model arederived and compared to the corresponding quantities for colored gain-noise and coloredloss-noise models. We show that, due to saturation effects in the considered laser model, theeffect of which the correlation time of the noise hides the differences between the in tensitycorrelation functions of the models is weakened. It can be seen from the evolution curves ofthe intensity correlation time versus the pump parameter that the dye laser exists criticalslowing-down.
