Abstract
We discuss relations between different jump processes used by us and other workers for the description of external electromagnetic field fluctuations. We show that the shot noise, the random telegraph signal, and the Poisson process are examples of a general class of fluctuations described by the relevant Burshtein-Chapman-Kolmogorov-Smoluchowski equation. We establish general conditions for which all these processes lead to the same atomic response in strong field-atom interactions.Keywords
