Abstract :
Measurements were made to determine the photocount statistics and photocount correlations of a CW dye laser operated with and without internal etalons to achieve narrow linewidth. In addition, estimates of the mean laser light intensity as a function of time were made from photocount count records and the use of a newly developed stochastic estimation procedure.
