Abstract
A model for calculating the noise in nonlinear optical processes arising from (nonquantum) stochastic fluctuations (mode beating) in and between the lasers participating in the nonlinear interaction has been developed.1,2 Assuming all Individual laser mode phases and laser modes to be (statistically) independent (Gaussian statistics) and that the nonlinear interaction can be expressed as a perturbation expansion in the participating fields, deterministic expressions for the expected intensity and higher order moments for the signal were obtained in a straightforward way.
