We have performed a quantitative analysis of the threshold-like transition in our microlaser. Our QTS analysis models the microlaser experiment with fully extended simulations, including cavity mode structure, atomic decay and velocity distribution. This analysis is more precise that the previous one, serving as a recalibration method of the photon and atom detection system used in the experiment. As shown in the figure, the QTS predictions are in good agreement with experiment. Comparison of microlaser output with QTS results.
