A well-stabilised, single mode laser beam will give zero intensity correlation. However, a laser beam may be 'thermalised' by shining it on a rotating ground glass disc, and then intensity correlation experiments will give nonzero results. We present here calculations of the intensity correlation functions of the TEMlO, TEM20, TEM30 and TEM40 Gaussian-Hermite beams. We were led to perform these calculations by the results of intensity correlation measurements on a laser with 'butted-on' mirrors nearing the end of its useful life.

The effects of the correlations between real and imaginary parts of the quadratic pump noise on the normalized intensity correlation function and the associated relaxation time of a single-mode laser model were investigated. The expressions of the intensity correlation function C(s) and the relaxation time Tc were derived. Based on numerical computations, we found that Tc monotonously increases as the strength λp of correlation between the real and imaginary parts of quadratic pump noise increases and the larger λp value is, the slower C(s) decays. The presence of correlations between the real and imaginary parts of the quadratic pump noise causes the intensity fluctuation to increase.
