MEAN-FIELD KINETIC EQUATIONS FOR A LASER.

Abstract

A set of kinetic equations is derived for a single-mode laser based on the assumption that the mean optical field of the laser model need not vanish. They constitute a coupled system for the field and single-atom density operators and are obtained from the quantum-Liouville equation by a generalization of the method of Bogolyubov. The equations are derived to second order in the matter-field coupling constant, assuming an asymptotic state with no matter-field correlations. (Author)
