Note on a diffraction-amplification problem

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We investigate the solution of the equation ∂tε(x, t) - iD∂x2ε(x, t) = λ|S(x, t)| 2ε(x, t), for x in a circle and S(x, t) a Gaussian stochastic field with a covariance of a particular form. It is shown that the coupling λc at which 〈|ε|〉 diverges for t ≥ 1 (in suitable units), is always less or equal for D > 0 than D = 0.
