Effect of atomic decay in degenerate two-photon micromasers
E. S. Guerra, J. Plon, Nicim Zagury · Physical Review A · 1993
We study the effect of the atomic decay and the pumping statistics in degenerate two-photon oscillators. We obtain an expression for the gain that is valid for all values of the atomic lifetime. Numerical results are presented for regular and Poissonian pumping statistics.
