Quantum analysis of light propagation in a parametric amplifier
B. Hüttner, Sergio D. Serulnik, Y. Ben-Aryeh
We develop a quantization procedure for treating the propagation of light. This formalism is particularly effective in a dispersive nonlinear medium characterized by its macroscopic linear and nonlinear polarizability. We demonstrate it by analyzing the propagation of light in a multimode degenerate parametric amplifier.
