Abstract
Spontaneous decay into the two modes of circular polarization of a Zeeman l aser is correlated by radio-frequency coupling the Zeeman sublevels of the emitting atoms. No quantum noise is left over in the beat note of the polar ization modes, at the centres of the ranges of frequency locking, when the degeneracy of these modes is lifted by the pulling effect of linear dispers ion.
