Abstract

The amplitude and phase noise spectra of the internal and external fields of a negative resistance oscillator are derived using electrical circuit theory. It is shown that the difference between internal and external fluctuations becomes important in the quantum domain ( <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">h\omega &gt; kT</tex> ) where external noise sources are not negligible as they often are in the classical domain ( <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">h\omega &lt; kT</tex> ). Using established methods to describe quantum fluctuations in electrical circuits, we obtain results in full agreement with the more exact but less general direct quantum mechanical analysis of a Fabry-Perot laser in Part I.
