We study the stationary photon output and statistics of small lasers. Ourclosed-form expressions clarify the contribution of collective effects due tothe interaction between quantum emitters. We generalize laser rate equationsand explain photon trapping: a decrease of the photon number output below thelasing threshold, derive an expression for the stationary cavity modeautocorrelation function $g_2$, which implies that collective effects maystrongly influence the photon statistics. We identify conditions for coherent,thermal and superthermal radiation, the latter being a unique fingerprint forcollective emission in lasers. These generic analytical results agree withrecent experiments, complement numerical results, and provide insight into anddesign rules for nanolasers.
