Competition Effects in Lasers.
Abstract
This Final Report describes research. The first two-time photoelectric correlation measurements of a ring laser were completed during this period, which demonstrated the effect of mode competition in modifying the characteristics of a laser. Theoretical quantum treatments of a two-mode ring laser, and of a laser with coupled transitions were completed, and phase transition effects in a laser exhibiting optical bistability, and one with a saturable absorber, were investigated. The research resulted in four publications in the scientific literature, and 11 lectures describing various aspects of the research were presented at scientific meetings and research seminars. These are all listed in the Report.
