Theory of the holographic laser: Correlated emission in a ring cavity.

abstract

• We consider a ring laser whose counterpropagating modes are coupled by a spatial modulation in the gain medium. We derive a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation for these modes. In this way we show that the diffusion coefficient of the relative phase angle may vanish in both linear and nonlinear theory. 1987 The American Physical Society.
