Abstract
The results of the quantum theory of a laser given by Riska and Stenholm (see ibid., vol.3, p.536 (1970)) for the case of inhomogeneous broadening and detuning are re-derived by avoiding the Doppler limit approximation to show the exact influence of relaxation parameters on the theory. The threshold condition is seen to be dependent on gamma ab/ku where gamma ab is the relaxation parameter and ku the Doppler parameter. Its value is found to be higher than earlier results. It is noted that the photon distribution function at resonance is much closer to the corresponding distribution obtained from exact calculations for the tuned case. The photon number at the peak of the distribution curve is much lower than earlier values for comparable situations.
