abstract
A description of phase and amplitude fluctuations has been derived in terms of the Hermitian components of the electric field. The description avoids the mathematical complications related to the use of the quantum mechanical phase operator. Instead, a rather simple picture and description of amplitude and phase fluctuations in terms of certain quantum mechanical components has been obtained. The approach has resulted in a systematic account of the different relations between squeezing, correlated-emission laser, quantum noise quenching, and general phase diffusion noise.
