To meet recent experimental advances, we generalize the intuitively appealing nonorthogonal-mode theory of excess quantum noise by introducing a Maxwell-Bloch description of the gain medium. The resulting equations extend the nonorthogonal-mode approach beyond the class A linear-gain regime providing a general starting point for theoretical descriptions of excess quantum noise. As an illustration of our theory, we derive rate equations describing excess quantum noise in class B lasers and obtain the non-Lorentzian spectrum due to the coloring of excess noise in class A lasers accounting for gain saturation. @S1050-2947 ~99!03106-6#
