Abstract
Conversion of laser frequency noise to amplitude noise via interaction with a resonant medium is described. Both experiment and theory show an asymmetric M-shaped noise intensity as a function of laser frequency. We also observe features corresponding to ground state atomic hyperfine structure in the rf spectrum of the noise for the case of K vapor. A calculation of the intensity correlation function of the transmitted light yields an rf spectrum which has the qualitative features observed in the experiment.
