A kinetic equation for the light generated by atoms with states prepared by a pumping mechanism producing atomic correlation is derived in a rigorous way. It is found that only two-particle correlations need to be taken into account within the framework of the Fokker–Planck approximation. The kinetic equation derived is applied to the process of micromaser operations and the light noise is discussed...
