  • Abstract
    We have studied the properties of a noisy laser diode light tuned near the D2 line of cesium resonance transition after passing through an atomic-cesium vapour cell. We have found that the transmitted beam acquires excess noise. This noise depends on the laser linewidth, laser detuning, intensity, and Fourier frequency
