Competition Effects in Lasers.
Abstract
This research dealt principally with the ring laser and the coherence properties of laser light. Among the most interesting discoveries was the fact that a ring laser can simultaneously emit one beam of coherent light and one beam of incoherent light, and when the laser is homogeneously broadened, as is the dye ring laser, microscopic quantum fluctuations have macroscopic consequences in that they cause switching between two modes.
