Abstract
Most studies of fluctuations in nonlinear optics have modeled the noise as either a Gaussian random process1 or a Markovian jump process.2–4 Since these models are probably bad descriptions of the noise present in most dye lasers, it is important to study the effects associated with deviations from the models. The deviations introduced into jump processes by non-Markovian behavior are analyzed. An efficient computer simulation program was developed to study correlated random phase fluctuations. The simulations were validated by comparison to analytical expressions obtained using the Burshtein method for analyzing jump processes. The changes introduced by removing many of the assumptions of the Burshtein method were studied numerically.
