Abstract
A linearized theory of fluctuations for absorptive bistability based on the positive P representation is developed without adiabatic elimination of the atoms or the field. An analytic expression for the steady-state covariance matrix is derived from which the size of quantum-statistical effects can be estimated without restriction to the good- or the bad-cavity limit. When the atom and field relaxation rates are similar the intensity correlation function of the transmitted light exhibits an oscillatory relaxation associated with vacuum Rabi splitting.
