Abstract

The limits of validity of a well known type of Master Equation for open systems are discussed. Using Zwanzig's projector formalism we derive a “Generalized Master Equation” which describes interference processes between coherent and incoherent interactions. The conditions under which this equation reduces to the known ones is given and discussed for laser systems.
