摘要:
The uncertainty principle is used to derive the ultimate spectral width of the laser beam. The resulting expression is the Schawlow–Townes formula. The derivation is simple and can readily be incorporated into an introductory course on lasers. The derivation can also be used in a modern physics course to illustrate the usefulness of the uncertainty principle.
