Macroscopic Description of Laser-Type Matter.

Abstract

Specialization of the previously developed boson-second-quantization (BSQ) formalism for the description of cooperative atomic behavior to the case of a two-level laser allows comparison with and criticism of other theories of cooperative behavior. Application of the BSQ formalism to a model of a three-level laser leads to equations of motion in terms of macroscopic variables without the use of phenomenological modifications. These equations, which can easily be generalized to more than three levels, may be interpreted both classically and quantum-mechanically, and offer the possibility of investigating a number of problems which are of both conceptual and practical interest.
