36. In this expression we omit the density of states of the electromagnetic field, which is proportional to ω2. In fact, as γ ω0, we can consider this factor to be constant to very good approximation. See also.

40. The result in is found by considering the normalized intensity-intensity correlation function g (2) (x1, x2; t′) = G (2) (x1, x2; t′) / G (2) (x1, x2, t→) = e-γt [(2 eγ/2t -1) cos δ1 2 cos δ2 2 +sin δ1 2 sin δ2 2] 2 (s+cos δ1 2) (s+cos δ1 2) with δj = φL + φj. Here, s=2 (Ω/γ) 2 +1 and it tends to unity in the low saturation limit considered here, giving rise to very large values of g (2) (x1, x2; t′) whenever δj = (2n+1) π, i.e., at the dark-fringe condition of the first-order correlation function.
