... calculations were that the laser functioned as an essentially classical device. In fact H. Risken showed that it could be modeled as a van der Pol Oscillator. In the late 80s the role of noise in the laser pumping process was shown to obscure the quantum aspects of the laser. If the noise in the pum ...
