22. We note that the longitudinal K factor can be described by a Green function propagation approach, rather than by a modal approach, as done by B. Tromborg, H. E. Lassen, and H. Olesen, IEEE J. Quantum Electron. 30, 939 (1994); Yamashita et al., Phys. Rev. A 55, 4552 (1997); or in a very simplified way in Appendix 2 of Ref. [10]. These approaches do not involve loss-induced coupling, indicating that the quantum theoretical description of the longitudinal K factor is different from the one for the transverse and polarization K factor. A full treatment of the relation between the longitudinal K factor and the quantum intensity noise, including internal loss, is beyond the scope of the present paper.
