Abstract
As originally conceived a correlated spontaneous emission laser showed quenching of spontaneous emission quantum fluctuations in the relative phase angle of a two mode laser. It has been shown by several approaches (e.g. quantum noise operator, Fokker-Planck equation, etc.) that such devices can, in principle, have vanishing noise in this relative phase angle. A geometric pictorial analysis along these lines has been given and provides a simple intuitive explanation for this quantum noise quenching which has also been supported by recent experimental investigations.
