Photon statistics of a cavity-QED laser: A comment on the laser–phase-transition analogy
Abstract
We develop a birth-death model for a cavity QED laser and analyze the dependence of the lasing threshold on the fraction, \ensuremath{\beta}, of spontaneous emission directed into the laser mode. We define threshold in terms of the Fano factor for the intracavity phonon number. We emphasize the role of \ensuremath{\beta} as a parameter characterizing the ``system size'' and show that the concept of laser threshold is well-defined in the ``thermodynamic'' limit, ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\beta}}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}. An ideal cavity-QED laser operates far outside this limit and therefore, in contrast to a conventional laser, is not a threshold device. We present numerical results showing how this difference affects the noise properties of the device.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
