The quantum theory of a laser developed by Scully and Lamb (1967) is reformulated to include the effects of atomic motion and detuning. The equations are solved to fourth order in the atom-field coupling constant. An approximate treatment of the mode structure is shown to reproduce the results of Lamb's semi-classical theory in the Doppler limit. In addition the photon distribution may be studied as a function of the detuning. The width of the photon distribution is found to increase monotonically with increasing detuning.
