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…

A simple quantum heat engine

Jacques Arnaud, Laurent Chusseau, Fabrice Philippe

Quantum heat engines employ as working agents multi-level systems instead of gas-filled cylinders. We consider particularly two-level agents such as electrons immersed in a magneti…
