Abstract

We derive the steady-state solution of the Fokker-Planck equation that describes the dynamics of the nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator in the truncated Wigner representation of the density operator. We assume that the pump mode is strongly damped, which permits its adiabatic elimination. When the elimination is correctly executed, the resulting stochastic equations contain multiplicative noise terms and do not admit a potential solution. However, we develop a heuristic scheme leading to a satisfactory steady-state solution. This provides a clear view of the intracavity two-mode entangled state valid in all operating regimes of the optical parametric oscillator. A non-Gaussian distribution is obtained for the above threshold solution.

Semiclassical Wigner distribution for two-mode entangled state generated by an optical parametric oscillator

We derive the steady state solution of the Fokker-Planck equation that describes the dynamics of the nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator in the truncated Wigner representation of the density operator. The adiabatic limit of strong pump damping is assumed. This phase space image provides a clear view of the intracavity two-mode entangled state valid in all operating regimes of the OPO. A nongaussian distribution is obtained for the above threshold solution.

Entangled light in transition through the generation threshold

Gagik Yu. Kryuchkyan, L. A. Manukyan

We investigate continuous-variable entangling resources on the basis of two-mode squeezing for all operational regimes of a nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator with allowance for quantum noise of an arbitrary level. The results for the quadrature variances of a pair of generated modes are obtained by using the exact steady-state solution of the Fokker-Planck equation for the complex-$P$-representation quasiprobability distribution function. We find a simple expression for the squeezed variances in the near-threshold range and conclude that the maximal two-mode squeezing reaches 50% relative to the level of vacuum fluctuations and is achieved at the pump field intensity close to the generation threshold. The distinction between the degrees of two-mode squeezing for monostable and bistable operational regimes is cleared up.

Exact steady-state Wigner function for a nondegenerate parametric oscillator

Karen V. Kheruntsyan, K. G. Petrosyan

We consider the model of a nondegenerate parametric oscillator, in the adiabatic limit of strongly damped pump mode, and find an exact analytic solution for the joint two-mode Wigner function in the steady-state regime. The one-mode Wigner functions for the individual signal and idler modes are derived as well. This gives an explicit and complete phase-space representation of this two-mode nonequilibrium quantum system. Simple examples are given illustrating the phase-space images of optical bistability and the phase diffusion effect.

Photon statistics of degenerate two-photon laser

Z Wang

Starting from the master equation for density operator of the atoms and the field mode and applying the operator method of adiabatic elimination of the atomio variables developed by Haake and Lewenstein, we derived the Fokker-Planck Equation for Wigner function of the lightfield and its steady-state solution. With a Gaussian approximation to the solution, analytical and numerical results on the photon statistics for various pumping strengths are obtained. Comparisons with previous works are made.

Beyond the Fokker-Planck equation: Stochastic Simulation of Complete Wigner representation for the Optical Parametric Oscillator

Lev I. Plimak, M. K. Olsen, M. Fleischhauer +1 more

We demonstrate a method which allows the stochastic modelling of quantum systems for which the generalised Fokker-Planck equation in the phase space contains derivatives of higher than second order. This generalises quantum stochastics far beyond the quantum-optical paradigm of three and four-wave mixing problems to which these techniques have so far only been applicable. To verify our method, we model a full Wigner representation for the optical parametric oscillator, a system where the correct results are well known and can be obtained by other methods. 1 I.
