14. ± . In quantum optics it has been proved that under the stimulated generation, the threshold of which is determined by the rate equations of type of Eqs. (2), the generated emission is highly coherent. (See, for example, Loudon R., The Quantum Theory of Light (Clarendom, Oxford, 1973.) Consideration of nonlinear regime of generation of the optical phonons as well as analysis of their coherence will be published elsewhere.
