ABSTRACT
The characteristic functional of the derivative #(t) of a Markov
process 0(t) and the related multiplicative prpcess 4(t), which obeys the
stochastic differential equation ib(t) = (A + *(t)B)O(t), have been studied.
Exact equations for the marginal characteristic functional and the marginal
average of o(t) are derived. The first equation is applied to obtain a set
of equations for the marginal moments of 4(t) in terms of the prescribed
properties of *(t). It is illustrated by an example how these equations can/,
be solved, and it is shown in general that 4(t) is delta-correlated, with a
smooth background. The equation of motion for the marginal average of a(t)
is solved for various cases, and it is shown how closed-form analytical
expresssions for the average <0(t)> can be obtained.

I. INTRODUCTION
The equation of motion for the density operator of an atom in a finite-
bandwidth laser field or the equation for the regression of the atomic
dipole correlations assumes the general form1'2
do (1.1
i dt (A + (t)B)o
where A and B are linear operators in Liouville space, which act on the
Liouville vector c(t). Here 0(t) represents the laser phase, which is
considered to be a real-valued stochastic process. The fluctutating phase
broalens the laser line, but the atom responds to the instantaneous
3frequency shift 0(t), which is the time-derivative of the laser phase. The
process 0(t) is again a stochastic process, and via Eq. (1.1) the state of
the atom or the correlation functions 0(t) become stochastic quantities.
The issue in quantum optics is then to solve the multiplicative stochastic
differential equation (1.1) for the average <o(t)>. The first solution was
4obtained by Fox, who assumed the process #(t) to be Gaussian white noise,
which corresponds to a diffusive Gaussian phase *(t) (the Wiener-L~vy
process). This result was generalized to a Gaussian process 0(t) with a
finite correlation time and an exponentially decaying correlation
function5 - 7 (the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process), and to a process #(t), which
0 8,9is again diffusive, but not Gaussian (the independent-increment process).
Furthermore, Eq. (1.1) can be solved for <a(t)> if we have 0(t) as a Markovrandom-jump process,1013 which models a multimode laser.14 '1 5
In these examples the solvability of the problem relies on the Gaussian
property of 4(t), or hinges on the prescribed stochastics of 0(t). This
." implies that the process 0(t) is actually considered to be the driving
3
process. For a single-mode laser in general, however, the phase
fluctuations 4(t) are specified rather than the derivative *(t) of this
process. A prime example would be the atomic response to phase-locked16 17
radiation, as it is generated for instance by some ring lasers. In this
paper we shall develop a general method to solve Eq. (1.1) for the case that
#(t) is a given Markov process. The formal theory will be exemplified by a
specific choice for #(t), which models phase-locked radiation. Furthermore,
we shall study the time-derivative of *(t) itself and extract the
stochastics of (t) from the properties of *(t).
II. THE STOCHASTICS OF *(t)
Let us define the phase 0(t) as a homogeneous Markov process. 18 Then
its stoch stics is fixed by the probability distribution P(*,t) and the
conditional probability distribution P (0), which has the
significance of the probability density for the occurrence of *(t+T) *2 if
*(t) *. #"For a homogeneous process this is independent of t by
definition. The higher-order statistics is now determined by the Markov
19property. From the obvious relation
fd,' Pt-t 0 (,I')P(*',t 0) P(s,t), t Z t0 (2.1)
it follows that it is sufficient to prescribe the probability distribution
P(#,t) for a single time-point tO only. The time-evolution towards t > t
can then be found from Eq. (2.1) and Pt -t0(18
The conditional probability distribution obeys the Master equation 18
T PT(*31#1) - fd,2 1W(*3 * 2) -a( 2 )6(43 - 2)}Pr(*2t*i) (2.2)
with W(O'js) 0 as the transition rate of the process from 0 to *' and
4
a(#) - Sdo' W(0'10) (2.3)
which is the loss-rate of *, independent of the final value *'. The initial
condition for Eq. (2.2) reads
Po(s31#1 ) - 6(l3-* ) (2.4)
so a gi--en W($'I) determines P(T43J*1) for every T 1 0. Hence the
stochastics of a homogeneous Markov process *(t) is fixed as soon as P(,,t0)
and W(#'J*) are prescribed. These functions will from now on be assumed to
be given.
III. THE CHARACTERISTIC FUNCTIONAL
A convenient way to represent the stochastic properties of a stochastic
process is by means of its characteristic functional.9 '2 0 Since we are
concerned with the process *(t), we define
t
Zt[k) - <exp(-ifds *(s)k(s))> , t 2 to , (3.1)to
which is a functional of the test function k(t). Here the angle brackets
denote an average over the stochastic process *(t) or 0(t), whatever is
prescribed. A general method to evaluate Z t[k] for the case where 0(t) is a
homogeneous Markov process has been given by van Kampen.2 1
Knowledge of the characteristic functional Z t[k] determines completely
the stochastics of *(t), which can be seen as follows. Choose k(s) as the
sequence of 8-functions
n
k(s) 6(s-tE)kz tE > to (3.2)
and take t - - in (3.1). Then we find
I.).a- ....... ............. ..............
5
Z.[k] - <exp(ikn*(tn) + ... + ikI(t1))> (3.3)
which is the moment-generating function of *(t). If we write zn(k n,t;
... ;klt 1 ) for Z.[k, then we can obtain the moments of (t) *(t)
according to
<*(t )> _ ()n Z " n(k nt " ;kl'tl)0
n kn k .a I (f;
(3.4)and the probability distributions by
Pn n' tn; 2n) n f--- dn ... d(2w) n
-ikn n- ... -ik 1 1 (n e* nnt n; ... ;kl~t 1
(3.5)
where we have introduced Pn in order to distinguish from the probability
distributions for *(t) itself.
IV. THE MARGINAL AVERAGE
A. GENERAL
The exponential in Eq. (3.1) is a functional of both k(t) and *(t), so
it depends on the values of *(t) in the complete interval [t0,tl. After the
average has been taken it will be only a functional of k(t). The general
attempt to evaluate averages of a functional is to derive an equation for
the average. For subsequently solving this equation for functionals which
involve Markov processes, this scheme is most conveniently carried out by an
22intermediate introduction of Burshtein's marginal averages. Since in our
problem the stochastics of *(t) is assumed to be given, the appropriate
marginal characteristic functional, which is related to Z t[k), should be
defined as
--.. \-X. - * * -- .
6
t
Qt[,0 k] - <6(#(t)-# 0 ) exp(-i fds *(s)k(s))> (4.1)to
for t a to. The initial value is then
Qt0[0,k] - <6(0(t0 )-*0 )> - P(#0,t0) 1 (4.2)
and Z t[k] follows from Qt[o0k] according to
Zt[k] - fd*0 Qt[$0,k] . (4.3)
For t - t we find with Eq. (4.2) Z[k] = fd0 P( o,t0) = 1, in agreement0
with Eq. (3.1).
In order to derive an equation for the time-evolution of Q 10k],
we first increase t by a small amount At > 0. This gives
Qt+Att*okl = <6($(t+At)-*0 ) exp(-i( (t+At)-*(t))k(t))
t
exp(-i fds *(s)k(s))> (4.4)
to
Subsequently, we expand the exponential functional of *(s) in a series, and
we take the average in (4.4) term by term. Hereafter, we apply the Master
equation (2.2) for Pt+At(flYo0 and take the limit At - 0. This yields an
equation for the marginal average, and explicitly we find
Q 09k] fd (W( 0 1) -a(
-i(,o0-O)k(t)x e Qt[O,k] . (4.5)
The Markov process *(t) is characterized by P(0t 0) and W(001), which
respectively determine the initial value and the time-evolution of Q [o0k].

7
For a specific choice of W(4o), we have to solve Eq. (4.5), after which
the characteristic functional Z t[k] can be obtained from Eq. (4.3).
Notice the resemblance between the result (4.5) and the Master equation
(2.2). If we multiply Eq. (2.2) by P(41,t0 ), take Tr t - t0 and apply the
relation (2.1), we find
S- P( 0 ,t) = fd4 {W(4 0 10) - a(4)6(0 0-0)) P(O,t) , (4.6)
which is the Master equation for P(*ot). This equation is identical to Eq.
(4.5), including the initial condition (4.2), if we set k(t) 0 0. On the
other hand, it follows from Eq. (4.1) that Qt[$o,kI = <6(0(t)-O 0 )> = P(o,t)
if we take k(t) = 0 , so that in this case Eq. (4.5) should indeed reduce to
- Eq. (4.6).
B. INDEPENDENT INCREMENTS
In order to display the usefulness and applicability of the marginal-
functional approach, we consider an example. Let us specify the transition
rate by
W(0 )= 0 w(*0-4) , y>0 , (4.7)
where the function w(n) is normalized as
fdn w(n) I1 (4.8)
The stochastic process 4(t) will be defined on the real axis, with -- < * <
. The assertion (4.7) states that the probability for a transition * 0
depends only on the phase difference 0 0 , and from Eq. (2.3) we find that
a(#) -, so that the total loss-rate for * is independent of *. This is a
diffusion process, and it is commonly referred to as the independent-
increment process. As an initial condition for the probability
8
distribution, we take
P(*,t0 ) = 6W (4.9)
Comparison of the Master equations for P (410') and P(O,t) then shows that
the probability distribution and the conditional probability distribution
are related according to
Ptt 0(1[$) = P(O-*ot) (4.10)
The Master equation (4.6) for P(.,t) can be solved by Fourier
transformation with respect to 0. If we write
P(P,t) = <eP(t)> = fdO ei O P(O,t) , (4.11)
which has P(p,t O) = 1 as the initial condition, then the solution of Eq.
(4.6) is immediately seen to be
Y( (P)-l)t-t )
P(p,t) = e , t to (4.12)
in terms of the Fourier transform w(p) of w(#). Note that w(O) = 1, as a
result of the normalization (4.7). Along the very same lines we can solve
Eq. (4.5) for the Fourier transform Ot [p,k]. We obtain
tt
Ot[pk = exp(-y f ds f d (l-eio(p-k(s)))w(o)) (4.13)tO --
after which the characteristic functional follows from
Z tk = t [O,k] , (4.14)
which yields the familiar result 8
9
V. THE MARGINAL MOMENTS
A. GENERAL
If we take k(s) as the sequence of delta functions (3.2) in the
definition (4.1) of the marginal characteristic functional, it assumes the
form
6n
Q [0 k] = <6((t)- 0)exp(i k£ *(t£) O(t-t£))> , (5.1)t 0' 0
with *(t) = 0(t) and 0(t) the unit-step function. Just as we can find the
moments <j(t n ) ... P(t1 )> of *(t) from Z [k], we can obtain the marginal
moments <6(0(t)-o 0 )(t n) ... ,(tl)> from Qt[0,k]. Obviously the integral
over 0 of the marginal moments yields the moments. The characteristic
functional Zt [k] becomes independent of t if t > t for all E, but Q[0,k]
remains time-dependent. This is due to the appearance of 6(0(t)-o0).
Furthermore, the time t is a dynamical variable in Eq. (4.5), so that care
should be exercised in the time-ordering. The marginal moments follow from
Q[ 00 by differentiation, according to
<6(0(t)-0 0),P(t n ) .. (tl1)> O)(t-t n ) ... O)(t-t ) =
( -)n '' . k t[' = "'" = ki = O" (5.2)
Equation (4.5) for Q [0,k implies an equation for the marginalt
moments. First, we note that
exp(-i(o 0- )k(t)}Qt[4,k ] =
n
<6(0(t)-O)exp(i > k {(.0-.)6(t-t) + i(t£)0(t-t)})> (5.3)£= I
.. . ~ ' ~ - - -. -
K 10
After substituting this expression in the right-hand side of Eq. (4.5),
differentiating with respect to k, "'" ,k1 , setting k =" k = 0 and
integrating over time, we obtain
S<6(¢(t)-¢O) Wt n ) .. (t 1)> O(t-t n ) ... o(t-tl 1 = d¢ (W(€0010 - a(€)6(O 0-0))
tSf dt' <60t)¢{¢- o)6(t'-t )+ ,(tn)O(t'-t )
to
((0O-,)6(t'-tl) + *(tl)O(t'-t)> (5.4)
When we set t > tz for all , we have a Master-like equation for <S( (t)- 0
*(t) ... (t )>, and the lower-order marginal moments <6(0(t)-O)(tm) ...
(t I)> with m < n appear as inhomogenous terms. Hence, Eq. (5.4) should be
solved successively for n = 1, n = 2... We note that Eq. (5.4)
provides an explicit expression for <(t) ... *(tl)> in terms of the lower-
order marginal moments after an integration over 00 Indeed, from the
property
fd,0 {W( 0 10) - a(0)6(€ 0-0)) = 0 , (5.5)
the term with <n((t')-0)0(t ) ... (t )> on the right-hand side of Eq.n 1
(5.4) vanishes after an integration over 0"
B. LOWEST ORDERS
In order to exhibit clearly the structure of the equation for the
marginal moments, we consider the cases n = 1 and n = 2 in some more detail.
After a slight rearrangement, Eq. (5.4) for n = 1 can be written as
<6(W(t)-¢O)WtI)> = fd, {W(010) -a()6(00-0))
t
x(O {(O)p(,t 1 + fdt' <6(0(t')-O)(t )}
t (5.6)

for t 1 t . This integral equation in time is equivalent to the
differential equation
t <6(O(t)-#O)*(tl)> . fd, w(0014) - a(#)S(00-#))
- <6(#(t)-#),(ti )> ,(5.7)
.. together with the initial condition
<6(0(t 1 )-0O)(t1 )> = fd, {W(00 14) - a(O)6(O- )(o 0 -¢)P(O,t1 ) . (5.8)
The equation for the first marginal average <6(0(t)-O)4(t 1 )> is identical
to the Master equation (2.2), but with a different initial value.
*Integration of (5.8) over 0 yields
<*(tl)> = fdod 0 W($01*)(* 0-.)P(O,t1) , (5.9)
which expresses explicitly the average of <*(tl)> in the given functions
W(0010) and P(s,tl). With the aid of the Master equation, we can cast (5.9)
in the form
<*(t)> = fdO * I P(0,tl)
d <O(t )> (5.10)=dt 1 1
as it should be.
The solution of Eq. (5.6) for <6(#(t)-*O)0(tl)> provides the input for
the explicit expression for the two-time correlation function, which becomes
<*(t 2)(t1)> = fdofd,0 {W(4 0 10) - a(016(00-01 }

The appearance of 6(t2 -t1 ) shows that the time-derivative of any Markov
process is 6-correlated with a continuous background.
C. RANDOM JUMPS
Equation (5.11) for instance might seem awkward, but it is really
straightforward in its application. Let us illustrate this with an example.
Consider the random-jump process 0(t), defined as a stationary process with
transition rate
w(0') yP(O) , y>0 , (5.12)
in terms of an arbitrary probability distribution P(O). Eq. (5.12) is
equivalent to the statement that the probability for a transition 0' * is
independent of the initial value 0,13. From Eq. (5.9) we immediately derive
<0(t , (5.13)
which is, in view of (5.10), necessary for a stationary process. From (2.3)
we obtain a(*) = y, and the solution of Eq. (5.7), with initial value (5.8),
is readily found to be
--y(t-t)
<6(0(t)-O)(t1 )> - yP(0)( 00-b1 ) e 1 t t1 . (5.14)
Here we have introduced the moments of P(O) as
bn -f fdo cn P(,) ,(5.15)
which are parameters of the process *(t). Solution (5.14) can be
substituted into Eq. (5.11), which gives the correlation function
2 -yJt2 -t1<*(t Wtt)>= y(b2 -b2){26(t1 -t2 ) - y e } , (5.16)
for all t I , t2 . From (5.15) it follows that
4.
- - -.- I
13
b-b 2 > 0 (5.17)
so that for t1 t2 the correlation (5.16) is negative. For t1 = t2 the 6-
function dominates the negative term, so that <*(t 1 ) 2> is positive, as it
should be.
VI. THE MULTIPLICATIVE PROCESS
So far we have considered the stochastics of *(t) itself, and its
characteristic functional. In this section we shall generalize the method,
in order to solve the multiplicative equation (1.1). To this end we write
the formal solution of (1.1) for the stochastic vector o(t) as
-iA(t-t 0) t
o(t) = e T exp[-lfds *(s)A(s)]o(t 0 (6.1)to0
where T is the time-ordering operator and R(t) is defined as
A~)=eiA(t-t 0 ) B -iA(t-t 0 ) (62()=eB e .(6.2)
In close analogy to the definition of Qt[00,k] in Eq. (4.1), we now
introduce the marginal average of a(t) by
=(ovt) f <6(*(t)-sO)O(t)> . (6.3)
Then we substitute the expression (6.1) for a(t) and replace t by t + At,
which gives a similar formula as Eq. (4.4). That this can also be done for
the time-ordered exponential is sometimes referred to as the semi-group
property of the evolution operator. Along the same lines that led to Eq.
(4.5) we now find
. ai t C( 0 ,t) - AC(4o,t)
+ ifd, {W(,010) a()6(0-)e -1(40-t)B , (6.4)
,4
14
or equivalently
(i-1 A + ia(o 0 )) C(O0,t) = ifd W( 010)e i(o,t) o (6.5)
Notice that the operator B appears in the exponential, rather than 9(t),
as could be expected by analogy with the characteristic functional. For a
given stochastic process 0(t), e.g., a given W(010') and P(o,t 0 ), we have to
solve Eq. (6.4) with the initial condition
C(O0,t0) = <6(0(t 0 )-¢ 0 )o(t 0 )> , (6.6)
- after which <o(t)> follows from
<(t)> = fd 0 C(€ot) (6.7)
For a given non-stochastic state 0(t 0 ), the initial condition reduces to
C(Oott = P(Oolt 0 ) 0(t 0 ) , (6.8)
which differs from (6.6) by the fact that there are no initial correlations.
This means that the process a(t) has no memory to times smaller than to, and
consequently its evolution for t a t0 is completely determined by its
initial state 0(t 0 ). It was emphasized by Arnoldus and Nienhuis 13 that the
common choice (o0 ,t0) P(Oot 0 ) <o(t0 )> is merely an approximation which
only holds for small correlation times of 0(t).
VII. SOLUTIONS
A. INDEPENDENT INCREMENTS
Equation (6.5) for the marginal average of a(t) can be solved for the
independent-increment process with the same procedure as in Section IV,
where we obtained the characteristic functional. If we adopt the Fourier
transform
* ' ' -. ", -£ - , .. - . .%b . , -.. . ,- *..- .. . --. -. - . .....- . ,- ,% .,.',,,. ,,,...,-,
15
(p,t) = fde ipo C(#,t) - <eiP*(t)o(t)> , (7.1)
where the second equality follows after application of Eq. (6.3), then
<o(t)> can be found from
<o(t)> = (Ot) (7.2)
4 With the technique of Section IV we can find &(p,t), and if we differentiate
the result with respect to time, we find
ati - (p, t) = (A - iQ(p)) (p,t) , (7.3)
with
Q(p) = YJdn (1-eig(p-B)) w(r) . (7.4)
The operator Q(p) accounts for the phase fluctuations. If we set p = 0 in
Eq. (7.3), we achieve the equation for <o(t)>, with solution
-i(A-iQ(0))(t-t 0
<(t)> = e <o(t0 )> , (7.5)
for t 2 to. We note that <o(t)> can be expressed in terms of <o(t 0 )> for
this process, so that there are no initial correlations for the diffusion
process. The process *(t) has no memory, and with the results of Section V
it can be shown that *(t) is indeed delta-correlated. This means that
<O(tn) . (t1 )> for all n contains only 6-functions, which implies the4...
factorization in (7.5).
A special case arises if we take
Yw(n) = y 6(n) + X 6"(r)) , X > 0 , (7.6)
:. - -) ?- ): '.-.i-)- --- "€ 2 -) ::--; -,-- ) -- - . -:"- ;-: -.-- :- - -:.- -..9.-".-...".)-" - " ".
16
where the primes on the 6-function denote differentiation with respect to
its argument. It is easy to check that this process is the Wiener-Levy
process, or the phase-diffusion process. If we substitute (7.6) into
(4.12), we find that P(*,t) is Gaussian, and obviously this is the only
Gaussian limit of the diffusion process. The operator Q(p) in (7.4) reduces
to
Q(p) = X(p-B)2 , (7.7)
and the equation for <0(t)> becomes
i- <o(t)> = (A-iAB 2)<o(t)> , (7.8)
4which is the result of Fox
B. ORNSTEIN-UHLENBECK PROCESS
The diffusion process has no memory and is essentially non-stationary.
The initial distribution P(#,t0) = 6() diffuses over the whole *-axis,
-- < # < -. The inclusion of a finite memory-time can stabilize this
process. Let us define the transition probability as
W($010) - a(O)6( 0 -) X 6"(0o-0) + y * 6,(0o-) , X > 0Y> o
(7.9)
Then the Master equation (4.6) for P(*,t) becomes the Fokker-Planck
equation 18
a2
P(4,t) = (X __ + * 0) P(Ot) (7.10)at 80 2'•
which has the solution for t *
P(O) - (2,a2) " e a /2 , a2 -/' (7.11)
17
This P(O), together with W(*O[j) from (7.9), defines a stationary Gaussian
Markov process, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. In the limit y * 0 and A
2finite (so a - ) the process 0(t) reduces to the Wiener-L~vy process from
the previous paragraph. From (7.11) we see that 0(t) is centered around * =2
0. The distribution is Gaussian with a variance a around the average * -
0. The preference for -f 0 expresses that this process can be considered
as a model for phase-locked radiation.
With the specific choice (7.9) for the transition rate, the Master
equation (6.5) assumes the form of a second-order partial differential
equation. We obtain
(i- - A + iAB2 ) Y(0,t) iyo 2(2iB + ) a + (iB +at ao a* a,'(7.12)
In the limit y -* 0 and A - yo2 finite, we recover (the Fourier inverse of)
Eq. (7.3) with Q(p) from Eq. (7.7).
In order to obtain a solution of Eq. (7.12), we start with a Fourier
transform with respect to #. The transformed equation then reads
(i - A + iB 2)&(P,t) -iy(o2 (p-2B)p + (p-B) )-1}(p,t) , (7.13)
which is still a partial differential equation. Since we are interested in
&(0,t) - <o(t)>, the obvious approach2 3 would be a Taylor expansion around
p - 0. This yields however a cumbersome inhomogeneous four-term recurrence
relation for the Taylor coefficients. This can be avoided by the
transformation15
(p,t) - (p) &(p,t) , (7.14)
which defines j(p,t). The Fourier transform of the probability distribution
*" is explicitly
a"% . - '... % **l~ .
18
P(p) <eiP#(t)> e- 2p2 (7.15)
and in particular we have P(0) = 1. The equation for g(p,t) becomes
a 2a 2
(t- - A + iB 2)j(Pt) = -iy{p ap - B(o 2 + p))g(Pt) , (7.16)
and it has to be solved for
i(O't) = <o(t)> (7.17)
Let us define the Taylor coefficients v (t) by the expansion
i(p't) = ff (t ) (7.18)
n=0
which can be inverted as
I (t) = <o(t) (-!-) •ip(t) - IWO2> (7.19)n ap p=0
Substitution of (7.18) into (7.16) then gives the equation for the Taylor
coefficients
a2 2(i- - A + iXB + iyn)w (t) yB(no in- (t) - 1 t)) (7.20).at nnn-l'n"
which has to be solved for
10 (t) = <o(t)> (7.21)
Equation (7.20) looks like a homogeneous three-term recurrence relation, but
it will be shown below that the time-derivative a/at gives rise to an
inhomogeneous contribution. Notice that for n - 0 Eq.(7.20) reduces to a
two-term relation between i 0(t) and r 1(t) only.
Eq. (7.20) is most easily solved in the Laplace domain. If we
introduce
19
n (W) - f dt e 0 n(t) , (7.22)tO
then (7.20) attains the form
A + iXB2 + iyn)i(w) - (B(no2;n-l(W) - ; n+l)) - inn (t 0 (7.23)
Here the initial values wn(t 0 ) for n = 0, 1, 2, ... appear as inhomogeneous
terms. The set wn(t0) for all n represents the initial correlations of a(t)
on t = to, and they connect the time-evolution of <o(t)> for t > t0 to its
recent past.13 In other words, Eq. (7.23) relates the set % (t) for t > tn0
to the initial set v (t 0).
Equation (7.23) can be solved for an arbitrary initial set n (t 0) by* 24
standard techniques, but the solution is not transparent. In order to
elucidate the structure of the solution, we assume a non-stochastic initial
state o(t0 ). From Eq. (7.1) we then find at t - tO
(p,tO ) = f(p) o(t0 ) , (7.24)
and from Eq. (7.14) we obtain
i(p,t0) = o(t0 ) . (7.25)
Hence at t = to the vector i(p,t 0) is independent of p, and therefore the
expansion coefficients are simply
Wn(t) = an,O(t 0 ) (7.26)
Then only the recurrence relation for n - 0 is inhomogeneous, and the
solution of (7.23) for 10 (W) - <;(W)> is readily found to be
6(w)> i 2 (t0 . (7.27)W- A + lAB 2 + R(w)
20
The effect of the finite correlation time, e.g., the deviation from the
Wiener-Lkvy limit, is accounted for by the operator
K(w) - yB 210
-A + LB 2 + li + yB 2-2 yB2 2 B
w- A + iXB + 2iy + B 3--- yB (7.28)
which indeed vanishes for y -* 0, A finite. In this limit, Eq. (7.27) is the
Laplace transform of Eq. (7.8).
The explicit expression (7.27) provides the exact solution for
,ituations where the initial state is non-stochastic and for cases where the
solution is independent of the initial state. As an example from quantum
optics, we mention that Eq. (7.27) with o(t0) = 1, A = 0 and B = 1
represents the laser spectral profile. Another example pertains to the
long-time behavior of the solution <a(t)>. If there is any damping in the
system, which might be caused by the stochastic fluctutations itself, then
the solution for t >> t0 will become independent of the initial state. If
we indicate by - the solution <a(t)> for t - , then - obviously obeys the
equation
(A - lAB 2 K(O)) a = 0 (7.29)
For the problem of atomic fluorescence in a strong laser field, this is the
equation for the atomic steady-state density matrix, which determines the
fluorescence yield. There, the solution 0 of Eq. (7.29) is unique.
VIII. CONCLUSIONS
Solving a multiplicative stochastic process o(t) for its average is
rarely feasible by analytical methods. This is mainly due to the finite
21
correlation time of the driving process 4(t), which prohibits the
factorization of the average of a product into the product of the averages.
Averages of a functional of *(t) might factorize if the process is delta-
correlated. For Markov processes, however, we can simulate a 6-correlation
by the introduction of the marginal average C(#0,t) - <6(*(t)-4 0 )a(t)>. The
combination of the multiplication by 6(4(t)-* 0 ) and the Markov property of
the probability distributions of *(t) then gives rise to a factorization-
like result for the formal expression for the average. Along the same lines
as in a factorization assumption, we can now derive exact equations for
C( 0,t). In this paper we have studied Eq. (1.1), where we considered the
stochastics of *(t) to be given. The equation of motion for the marginal
average turned out to be Eq. (6.4). The applicability of this equation was
illustrated by some examples.
