Abstract

The spontaneous emission contribution to laser noise is explained and the reason for circumventing the resulting fundamental limit is discussed. A question arises concerning the classification of nonclassical light sources that result from combining cavity quantum electrodynamics and semiconductor-laser technology to control randomness in spontaneous emission. © 2012 IEEE.
