Measurement of two-time correlations in a two-mode ring laser
Abstract
Photoelectric counting and two-time correlation measurements of each of the two counter-propagating waves of a He : Ne ring laser have been carried out. The results show reasonable agreement with theory over a range of laser pump parameters from -12 to +2, but increasing departures at higher excitations. The departures are believed to be due to backscattering.
