Abstract
A method is described for the efficient calculation of temporal correlations in systems whose equation of motion is a Fokker-Planck equation. The speed and accuracy of this approach is illustrated by a calculation of the intensity fluctuation and amplitude-phase correlation functions for a single-mode laser near threshold.Keywords
