Inhibition of spontaneous emission noise in lasers without inversion.

abstract

• I demonstrate a very large degree of quenching of spontaneous emission noise in different laser systems that work on mechanisms other than the population inversion between the bare states of the atom. Such laser systems have much narrower linewidths. I give explicit results for phase diffusion for four different model systems. 1991 The American Physical Society.
