Abstract

The phenomenon of stochastic resonance (SR) is found in a single-mode laser system driven by the colored pump noise with signal modulation and the quantum noise with cross-correlation between the real and imaginary parts. When the net gain a0 changes, it is found that, 1) the shape of the curve of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) versus the pump noise self-correlation time \tau exhibits a changing process of multiform SR, from single-peak SR to simultaneous existence of resonances and suppressions; 2) the curve of SNR versus signal frequency \Omega experiences a complicated changing process from the monotonous descending to the simultaneous appearances of a maximum and a minimum, and finally to monotonous descending; 3) the curve of SNR versus cross-correlation coefficient between the real and imaginary parts of the quantum noise \lambda_(q) appears an acute single-peak SR. Therefore, the net gain a0 greatly influences the characteristic of SR of laser system.
