Noise properties of micro-cavity lasers

The quantum limited linewidth of a laser results from the interaction between the noise generated by spontaneous emission processes and the non-orthogonal modes of the open cavity. This linewidth can be obtained semi-analytically through the scattering matrix (S matrix) of the cavity, or through di...
