The corresponding Mandel Q parameter attains highly non-classical values very close to its optimum of Q=-1 and thus is significantly smaller than for the resonant case or the regularly pumped laser Q>- 1/2 . Subsequently we show that inhomogeneous Doppler broadening of the atomic lines does not drastically influence the non-classical behaviour of the intracavity field as long as the laser is operated sufficiently far above threshold.","PeriodicalId":130003,"journal":{"name":"Quantum Optics: Journal of The European Optical Society Part B","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128726317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
