Quantum limit of the laser linewidth in chaotic cavities and statistics of residues of scattering matrix polesThe quantum-limited linewidth of a laser cavity is enhanced above the Schawlow-Townes value by the Petermann factor K, due to the non-orthogonality of the cavity modes.

Different Traces of Quantum Systems Having the Same Classical LimitMany quantum systems may have the same classical limit. We argue that in the classical limit their traces do not necessarily converge one to another. The trace formula allows to express quantum…Prot Pakonski·Oct 29, 1999SaveLearn
Can Strange Nonchaotic Dynamics be induced through Stochastic Driving?Upon addition of noise, chaotic motion in low-dimensional dynamical systems can sometimes be transformed into nonchaotic dynamics: namely, the largest Lyapunov exponent can be made nonpositive.
