Abstract
A method for the the derivation and truncation of correlation function hierarchies for Markovian damped quantum-optical systems is presented . The theory enables the inclusion of multiphoton scattering processes which are ignored in conventional semiclassical theories. These produ ce observable dynamical signatures which depend on characteristic scal es of photon number. Applications of the theory to intracavity optical parametric oscillation and second-harmonic generation are given.
