INTENSITY-INTENSITY CORRELATIONS FOR THE MICROMASER - SPECTRAL AND ANTIBUNCHING CHARACTERISTICS

We report results on different types of two-photon correlations for the micromaser field. We calculate these two-time correlations using the master equation for the micromaser field. We also present detailed results on the behavior of the eigenvalues of the Liouville operator for a range of excitation conditions and cavity parameters. We demonstrate the antibunching and the multiple-exponential decay of the micromaser field. We also discuss probing of the two-photon correlations.
