Abstract
Thus far we have discussed phase-insensitive systems, whose response is independent of the phase of the input (initial) excitation. When discussing the example of an amplifier, we assumed that the gain medium was either not saturated or, if saturated, was equilibrated fast enough that the gain was insensitive to the phase of the saturating signal. We also studied a laser resonator below threshold in Chap. 6, in which saturation effects could be neglected.
