34. In the laser-cooled atomic gas, the linewidth broadening due to the Doppler effect is very small and is negligible. For example, see experimental demonstrations of paired-photon generation in.
35. Choosing the two-level system as an example, the effects of the Langevin noises to the two-photon correlation have been carefully analyzed by M. H. Rubin, J.-M. Wen, and S. Du (unpublished). The same procedure can be extended to the current inverted-Y system. On the other hand, the validity of neglecting Langevin noises in the two-photon correlation in a cascade amplifier has been recently discussed in.
