Thermal self-interaction in a CO laser

Abstract

D b r i e m e n t d'ktrophysique Relativiste et d e Cosmologie O b m t o i r e , 92190 Meudon, France AbsImacL Slatting from the equations of motion obeyed by fields, as they result from general approximations [they are m!ia to be of the following form [k2n(k)]+ = 0, for quasi bosons, and a similar equation for quasifermions] a lagmgian formalism is derived and, accordingly, consewed quantities are obtained. Next these fields are quantized and general expressions for the main observables are derived. Statistical mechanics of quasiparlicles then follow via the use of covariant Wigner functions.
