We present the analysis of the effects of decoherence on quantum features of the cavity radiation of the two-photon-correlated emission laser, employing the stochastic differential equations associated with the normal ordering. We study how a thermal noise entering the cavity affects the squeezing, entanglement amplification, mean number of photon pairs and intensity difference in the cavity radiation. It turns out that the generated light exhibits a two-mode squeezing and entanglement when initially there are more atoms at the lower level, even when the cavity is coupled to a thermal reservoir. It is also found that though the thermal noise entering the cavity degrades the squeezing and entanglement, it significantly increases the mean number of photon pairs of the superimposed radiation.
