Abstract

The influence of the laser fluctuations on resonance fluorescence is treated exactly within the framework of multiplicative stochastic processes. For the phase diffusion model of the laser, I find that, in the limit of strong fields, the ratios of the width and height of the central peak to the side peak are, respectively, 23x and 3x, where x=(γ+γc)(γ+2γc). The envelope of the intensity correlations is found to decay at the rate (3γ+γc)2.
