  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. The basic model considered in this paper is a single atom inside an optical cavity. We consider both three- and four-level atomic systems and use incoherent pumping for both. We present numerical results of the laser linewidth and the second-order intensity correlation function. These results are obtained with use of the quantum trajectory method, using the formalism of Carmichael.
