Excess noise for coherent radiation propagating through amplifying random media
M. Patra, C. W. J. Beenakker
Abstract
A general theory is presented for the photodetection statistics of coherent radiation that has been amplified by a disordered medium. The beating of the coherent radiation with the spontaneous emission increases the noise above the shot-noise level. The excess noise is expressed in terms of the transmission and reflection matrices of the medium, and evaluated using the methods of random-matrix theory. Inter-mode scattering between N propagating modes increases the noise figure by up to a factor of N, as one approaches the laser threshold. Results are contrasted with those for an absorbing medium.
