Quiet Lasers
Jacques Arnaud, Laurent Chusseau, Fabrice Philippe
We call "quiet laser" a stationary laser that generates in detectors regular photo-electrons (sub-Poisson statistics). It follows from the law of conservation of energy that this i…
Grand-mother clocks and quiet lasers
Jacques Arnaud, Laurent Chusseau, Fabrice Philippe
Galileo noted in the 16th century that the period of oscillation of a pendulum is almost independent of the amplitude. However, such a pendulum is damped by air friction. The latte…
Sub-Poissonian laser emission from a single-electron permanently interacting with a single-mode cavity
Jacques Arnaud, Laurent Chusseau, Fabrice Philippe
Quiet (or sub-Poissonian) oscillators generate a number of dissipation events whose variance is less than the mean. It was shown in 1984 by Golubev and Sokolov that lasers driven b…
Semi-classical theory of quiet lasers. Short version
Jacques Arnaud, Laurent Chusseau, Fabrice Philippe
This article is the shorten version of quant-phys/0610106 with a supplemented theory and new results concerning a single-electron laser driven by a constant-potentiel battery. "Qui…
Semi-classical theory of quiet lasers. I: Principles
Jacques Arnaud, Laurent Chusseau, Fabrice Philippe
When light originating from a laser diode driven by non-fluctuating electrical currents is incident on a photo-detector, the photo-current does not fluctuate much. Precisely, this…
