Abstract
In this thesis we study the statistical and squeezing properties of the light produced by a degenerate three-level laser. Using the solutions of c-number Langevin equations, we have calculated antinormally ordered characteristic function. Then employing the resulting characteristic function, we obtain the Q-function. Applying the Q-function, we have calculated the mean photon number, the variance of phototn number, the photon number distribution and the quadrature variance. We have found that the light mode is 47:9% squeezed below the coherent state level at steady state for A = 3 and κ = 0:8. It is observed that the degree of squeezing increases with the linear gain coefficient(A). We have determined the Q-function for the superposition of the light beams produced by two degenerate three-level lasers. Using this Q-function, we have calculated the mean number of photons, the variance of photon number, the photon number distribution and quadrature variance. We have found that the steady state mean photon number is a simple sum of the mean photon numbers of the two light beams. The squeezing of the superposed light mode increases with the linear gain coefficient. It is found that for A = 3 and κ = 0:8, the squeezing is 95:8% below the coherent state level.
