Results have been obtained in the areas of statistical properties of dye laser radiation and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) with broad-band chaotic light. Experiments were carried out on a multimode, pulsed dye laser to measure the mode intensity cross-correlation coefficients. This revealed that the mode intensities are statistically correlated, some pairs in a positive fashion and some in a negative fashion. The results can be explained by the effect of spatial hole burning in the dye gain medium. A theory was developed to describe SRS driven by a chaotic laser. It was found that the Raman gain is a strong function of laser bandwidth. This has implications for experiments we intend to carry out.
