Characteristic function and quasi-probability distribution of photons and of squeezed coherent photons

Abstract

We consider the p-ordered characteristic function and its Fourier transform, the quasidistribution function, of squeezed coherent photons in a thermal state of photons and calculate the mean number and number variance of squeezed coherent photons. All the properties calculated from the previous characteristic function can be used to calculate said properties for photons in a thermal state of squeezed coherent photons via a parametric transformation. In particular, one can obtain the mean number and number variance via the parametric transformation.

Mean Number and Number Variance of Squeezed Coherent Photons In a Thermal State of Photons

Moorad Alexanian

We consider the equilibrium thermal state of photons and determine the mean number and number variance of squeezed coherent photons. We use an integral representation for electro-magnetic radiation applicable both to systems in equilibrium and to systems in nonequilibrium to determine the spectral function of the radiation. The system considered is in thermal equilibrium and we find that the squeezed coherent photons are at a higher temperature than the photons themselves. Also, as expected, the mean number of squeezed coherent photons is greater than that of photons.

Quantum properties of two-mode squeezed thermalized states

Alemayehu Getahun Kumela, Mohammed Kelif

We have studied the statistical and squeezing properties of the Two-mode squeezed thermal light. We have calculated the mean of the photon number sum and difference, the variance of the photon number sum and difference, second order correlation function, the quadrature variance and quadrature squeezing, employing the Q function. We have found that the mean of the photon number sum for the two-mode squeezed thermal light is the sum of the means of the photon number sum of the separate modes and the photon statistic is super Poissonian. And the photon number of a two-mode squeezed thermal light is correlated and we have seen that the two-mode squeezed thermal light exhibiting the photon bunching effect. Moreover, the quadrature variance of the two-mode squeezed thermal light turns out to be the product of the quadrature variances of the two-mode thermal and two-mode squeezed vacuum states. The squeezing increase with increasing the squeeze parameter and with decreasing the mean photon number of thermal light.

Squeezed states with thermal noise. I. Photon-number statistics

Paulina Marian, Tudor A. Marian

We investigate a free monochromatic electromagnetic field which is the superposition of a squeezed thermal radiation and a coherent one. The main tool in our analysis is the characteristic function that has a Gaussian form. We establish an analytic formula for an arbitrary correlation function, as well as its strong-squeezing limit. Besides the usual quasiprobability densities, the coherent-state, number-state, coordinate, and momentum representations of the density operator are derived. We point out the nonclassical oscillations of the photon-number distribution and find its generating function. Collaterally, displaced thermal states and squeezed thermal states are revisited as nontrivial particular cases. We examine finally the squeezing properties of the field using the distribution functions of the quadratures.

Quantum phase distribution of thermal phase-squeezed states

Ziad H. Musslimani, Y. Ben-Aryeh

The quantum phase distributions and variances of strong coherent and phase-squeezed states mixed with thermal light are calculated. We find that the effect of thermal light on the coherent phase distribution becomes important only when the number of thermal photons is of order one-half. Its effect on the phase distribution of phase-squeezed states (for the case where the number of photons is very large compared to ${e}^{2r})$ becomes important when the number of thermal photons is of order $\frac{1}{2}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}2r}$, where $r$ is the squeezing parameter.

Properties of squeezed number states and squeezed thermal states

M. S. Kim, F. A. M. de Oliveira, P. L. Knight

Much attention has been given in the past to two classes of squeezed states: the squeezed vacuum and coherent states. Here we study the effects of squeezing on number states and on thermal field states. The statistical properties of these various squeezed states are discussed using the second-order correlation functions. The quasiprobabilities of the Wigner, Q, and positive P representations are calculated and compared for the squeezed states. The Glauber P representation for the squeezed thermal state explicitly shows the limit of its applicability. The photon number distributions of the squeezed number and squeezed thermal states are extensively discussed and new interference effects in phase space are shown to lead to highly structured number distributions.
