Exact Solution for the Influence of Laser Temporal Fluctuations on Resonance Fluorescence Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The influence of the laser fluctuations on resonance fluorescence is treated exactly within the framework of multiplicative stochastic processes. For the phase diffusion model of the laser, I find that, in the limit of strong fields, the ratios of the width and height of the central peak to the side peak are, respectively, 23x and 3x, where x=(+c)(+2c). The envelope of the intensity correlations is found to decay at the rate (3+c)2. 1976 The American Physical Society.
