New Evidence for a Nonclassical Behavior of Laser Multimode Light

Abstract

In this work, we present new experimental evidence of a nonclassical behavior of a multimode Fabry–Perot (FP) semiconductor laser by the measurements of intensity correlation functions. Due to the multimode quantum state occurrence, instead of expected correlations between the intensities of the laser modes (a semiclassical theory), their anticorrelations were revealed.
