摘要: The effect of the pump phase diffusion on the linewidth of a laser without inversion is studied. It is shown that the linewidth at equal intensity may be reduced below that for a coherent driving, enen if the net effect of the pump bandwidth leads to an increase in the linewidth. The physical mechanism is analyzed in the dressed-state picture. Furthermore, the effects of the pump phase noise on the linewidths of an inversionleess laser and a Raman laser are compared with each other.
