U. Elman et S. Kroll, STATISTICAL MODELING AND THEORETICAL-ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF LASER PHASE FLUCTUATIONS ON PHOTON-ECHO DATA ERASURE AND STIMULATED PHOTON-ECHOES, Laser physics, 6(4), 1996, pp. 721-728
The effect of random laser phase fluctuations on stimulated photon ech
oes (SPEs) and on coherently added SPEs was studied and evaluated both
experimentally and analytically with statistical methods. The general
concept of describing laser frequency fluctuations as a stationary st
ochastic process is presented and applied to three specific SPE config
urations. The effect of phase fluctuations on erasing an SPE by cohere
ntly adding another SPE, phase-shifted by 180 degrees relative to the
first, is presented.
