Q. Long et al., CORRELATION BETWEEN ADDITIVE NOISES INDUCED FIRST-ORDER PHASE-TRANSITION IN A 2-MODE LASER, Chinese Physics Letters, 13(11), 1996, pp. 833-836
A phenomenological theory about the correlation between additive noise
s, in a two-mode laser arising from scattering of photons by the mediu
m in the laser cavity is presented. It is applied to an inhomogeneousl
y broadened two-mode ring laser. We have obtained an approximate expre
ssion for the steady-state intensity distribution, in which a first-or
der phase transition is found.
