Photocount statistics of chaotic lasers
arXiv:quant-ph/0102028 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.86.5262
Abstract
We derive the photocount statistics of the radiation emitted from a chaotic laser resonator in the regime of single-mode lasing. Random spatial variations of the resonator eigenfunctions lead to strong mode-to-mode fluctuations of the laser emission. The distribution of the mean photocount over an ensemble of modes changes qualitatively at the lasing transition, and displays up to three peaks above the lasing threshold.
