Quantum optical communication rates through an amplifying random medium.
We study the competing effects of stimulated and spontaneous emission on the information capacity of an amplifying disordered waveguide. At the laser threshold the capacity reaches a "universal" limit, independent of the degree of disorder. Whether or not this limit is larger or smaller than the capacity without amplification depends on the disorder, as well as on the input power. Explicit expr...
متن کاملQuantum theory of optical-pulse propagation through an amplifying slab
We calculate the effects of normal transmission through an amplifying dielectric slab on the properties of an incident pulse of light. The transmitted pulse shows shifts in peak position and additional lengthening or shortening with respect to the unamplified incident pulse. The magnitudes of these effects are generally larger than those of the corresponding changes that occur in transparent or...
متن کاملFiber-Random Amplifying Medium : An optical realization of the Arrhenius cascade
In the previous chapters, we had shown Lévy statistical fluctuations in the emission intensity from dye-scatterer random amplifying media (RAMs). The large jumps in intensity resulted from rare events where a photon traversed a long path in the gain medium owing to multiple scattering and was significantly amplified. The work presented in this chapter was undertaken to establish the crucial rol...
متن کاملOptical communication through random atmospheric turbulence.
In this paper we coipare the theoretical performances of two schemes of optical communication through the atmospheric turbulence: (1) heterodyne detection and (2) video detection. The signal-to-noise ratios (S/N) in the output current of a detector are expressed for both schemes in terms of the correlation function of the refractive index fluctuations of the turbulence. The results of a separat...
متن کاملLévy statistical fluctuations from a Random Amplifying Medium
We report the studies of emission from a novel random amplifying medium that we term a “Lévy Laser” due to the non-Gaussian statistical nature of its emission over the ensemble of random realizations. It is observed that the amplification is dominated by certain improbable events that are “larger than rare”, which give the intensity statistics a Lévy like “fat tail”. This, to the best of our kn...
