Abstract
A less well understood regime of quantum optical systems is the case when they are far from equilibrium and highly nonlinear. One device that inherently operates in this regime is the two-photon laser that is based on the two- photon-stimulated emission process, whereby two photons stimulate the emission of four photons. Such lasers are predicted to have highly unusual nonlinear dynamic and quantum statistical behaviors.
