Abstract

We have investigated the possibility of observing higher order antibunching (HOA) and higher order subpossonian photon statistics (HOSPS) in five wave mixing and third harmonic generation process. It had been shown that both processes satisfy the criteria of HOA and HOSPS. Further, some observations on the nature of interaction which produces HOA and HOSPS are reported.

Pump photons present in a non-linear process as a witnesses of nonclassicality of a system

Priyanka Priyanka, Savita Gill

We have studied non-classical effects, i.e. higher order photon antibunching (HOA) and higher order sub-Poissonian photon number statistics (HOSPS) in various non-linear optical processes like second harmonic generation, fourth harmonic generation, coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) and coherent anti-Stokes hyper-Raman scattering (CAHRS) using short time interaction techniques.The non-classical effects directly depend on number of photons prior to interaction with non-linear medium has already been studied but we have found that non-linear processes involving equal number of pump photons have same higher order photo antibunching (HOA) and higher order sub-Poissonian photon number statistics (HOSPS) independent of the non-linear process involved.KEYWORDS Higher order sub-Poissonian photon number statistics, higher order photon antibunching, optical processes.FOR CITATION Priyanka, Savita Gill Pump photons present in a non-linear process as a witnesses of nonclassicality of a system.

Higher Order Squeezing and Higher Order Subpoissonian Photon Statistics in Intermediate States

Amit Verma, Anirban Pathak

Recently simpler criteria for the Hong-Mandel higher order squeezing (HOS) and higher order subpossonian photon statistics (HOSPS) are provided by us [Phys. Lett. A 374 (2010) 1009]. Here we have used these simplified criteria to study the possibilities of observing HOSPS and HOS in different intermediate states, such as generalized binomial state, hypergeometric state, negative binomial state and photon added coherent state. It is shown that these states may satisfy the condition of HOS and HOSPS. It is also shown that the depth and region of nonclassicality can be controlled by controlling various parameters related to intermediate states. Further, we have analyzed the mutual relationship between different signatures of higher order nonclassicality with reference to these intermediate states. We have observed that the generalized binomial state may show signature of HOSPS in absence of HOS. Earlier we have shown that NLVSS shows HOS in absence of HOSPS. Consequently it is established that the HOSPS and HOS of same order are independent phenomenon.

Higher order antibunching is not a rare phenomenon

Gupta, P, Pandey, P N, Pathak, A

Since the introduction of higher order nonclassical effects, higher order squeezing has been reported in a number of different physical systems but higher order antibunching is predicted only in three particular cases. In the present work, we have shown that the higher order antibunching is not a rare phenomenon rather it can be seen in many simple optical processes. To establish our claim, we have shown it in six wave mixing process, four wave mixing process and in second harmonic generation process.

Study of nonclassicality in fifth harmonic generation nonlinear optical process

Priyanka, Savita Gill

We have examined non classical effect i.e. higher order single mode antibunching and intermodel antibunching and higher order sub-poissonian photon statistics (HOSPS) in fifth harmonic generation non linear optical process using short time interaction technique.We have found that nonclassical effects directly depend on number of photons prior to interaction with non linear medium.The higher the number of photons present prior to an interaction, the higher will be the nonclassicality in the system.It is additionally found that stoke mode doesn't fulfill the condition of single mode antibunching and HOSPS in fifth harmonic generation process.To examine the optical nonlinearity of nanoparticles, there are significant research efforts concerning the estimation of higher order nonlinear susceptibility which can be utilized as a source for the generation of higher order harmonic generation nonlinear optical processes [19].

Antibunching, Sub-Poissonian, and Correlation Functions of Photons in Seventh Harmonic Generation Process

The study investigates antibunching, sub-Poissonian statistics, and photon correlation functions in the pump and harmonic modes of the seventh harmonic generation process.We investigated various approaches to photon antibunching by solving the generalised interaction Hamiltonian in the Heisenberg picture using short-time approximation.It is inferred that the number of pump photons, coupling of the field strength, and interaction times significantly influence photon antibunching.It is observed that third-order antibunching in the pump mode has greater nonclassicality than second-and first-order antibunching.In the harmonic mode, the nonclassical effect is found to be less pronounced and becomes more evident as the interaction time decreases.The first-order Hamiltonian interaction induces a stronger nonclassical effect than the second-order interaction.The interaction of a coherent pump field with a nonzero harmonic field leads to photon clustering and bunching effects.Finally, photon antibunching appears most pronounced, indicating nonclassicality, as the second-order correlation function decreases.This confirms that antibunching is a fundamental quantum property of light.
