Squeezing in Nonlinear Birefringent Medium: An Exactly Soluble Model

Lu-Bi Deng, Lian-zhou Zhang

Second- and fourth-order squeezing, produced by the propagation of a coherent light beam through a nonlinear birefringent medium, are investigated. The exact solutions for the presented model are obtained. A detailed numerical analysis of the results is performed and presented graphically.

Quantum propagation: Squeezing via modulational polarization instabilities in a birefringent nonlinear medium

T. A. B. Kennedy, Stefan W. Wabnitz

We calculate the spectrum of quadrature fluctuations of orthogonal polarizations of light for a beam propagating along a birefringence axis of a dispersive transparent Kerr medium. Reshaping and tuning of the spectrum is achievable by variation of the pump power or the linear birefringence: Wide-band squeezing is predicted, and its relationship to modulational polarization instabilities discussed.

Polarized light in an anisotropic medium versus spin in a magnetic field

Valerii S Zapasskii, G. G. Kozlov

The analogy between polarization optics effects and the dynamics of a spin in a magnetic field is analyzed based on the fact that the Bloch equation for a spin in a magnetic field is formally identical to the evolution equation for the quasi-spin vector of a light propagating in an optically anisotropic medium. Among the effects discussed within this framework are light polarization beats in a birefringent medium; optical activity suppression in the media with linear birefringence; suppression of linear birefringence in the media with spatially modulated gyration; 'adiabatic' transformation of light polarization in media of smoothly varying anisotropy, and two- and three-pulse polarization echoes.
