Abstract

The mechanism for quantum noise suppression in a multimode laser with a homogeneously broadened line is explained. It is shown that the spontaneous emission noise and pump noise contribution to the photon number fluctuations inside the laser cavity may be suppressed infinitely (up to their complete elimination) when the number of modes participating in the generation is increased. Low-frequency spectral squeezing for an individual output field mode in optimal conditions tends to 100% as the total number of modes increases. The low-frequency spectral squeezing for the total output field may reach 50% below the shot noise level under optimal conditions. The noise suppression of the laser light is explained by the saturation effect of an atomic transition and inter-mode correlation. A multimode laser is an accessible source of light with potentially fully suppressed quantum noise.
