- Abstract: We consider the equilibrium thermal state of photons and determine the mean
number and number variance of squeezed coherent photons. We use an integral
representation for electro-magnetic radiation applicable both to systems in
equilibrium and to systems in nonequilibrium to determine the spectral function
of the radiation. The system considered is in thermal equilibrium and we find
that the squeezed coherent photons are at a higher temperature than the photons
themselves. Also, as expected, the mean number of squeezed coherent photons is
greater than that of photons.

No class-B quantum density-matrix model is available to date, capable of accurately describing coherence and photon correlations within a unified theory.
Here we carry out a density-matrix theoretical approach for generic class-B lasers, and provide closed equations for the photonic and atomic reduced density matrix in the Fock basis of photons.
This model enables the study of few-photon bifurcations and non-classical photon correlations in class-B laser devices, also leveraging quantum descriptions of coherently coupled nanolaser arrays.

We consider an ensemble of Alkali atoms that are continuously optically pumped and probed.
Due to the collective scattering of photons at large optical depth, the steady state of atoms does not correspond to an uncorrelated tensor-product state.
We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.
