Higher-order squeezing of quantum electromagnetic field in Non-degenerate Parametric Down Conversion

Abstract

It is found that the process of Non‐degenerate Parametric Down Conversion exhibits higher‐order squeezing. The degree of squeezing increases with the order N, and the higher‐order squeeze parameter qN may approach −1.

Higher-Order Squeezing of a Quantum Field

C. K. Hong, L. Mandeļ

The concept of $2n\mathrm{th}$-order squeezing of a quantum field is introduced as a natural generalization of the usual second-order squeezing. It is shown that the processes of degenerate parametric down conversion, harmonic generation, and resonance fluorescence all exhibit higher-order squeezing.

Generation of higher-order squeezing of quantum electromagnetic fields by degenerate four-wave mixing

Xi-Zeng Li, Shan Ying

It is found that the field of the combined mode of the probe wave and the phase-conjugate wave in the process of degenerate four-wave mixing exhibits higher-order squeezing to all even orders. The degree of squeezing increases with the order N, and the higher-order squeeze parameter ${q}_{N}$ may approach -1.

Generation of higher-order squeezing of quantum electromagnetic fields

C. K. Hong, L. Mandeļ

The concept of Nth-order squeezing and intrinsic Nth-order squeezing is introduced and applied to several physical situations that are known to exhibit second-order squeezing. It is shown that the field produced in degenerate parametric down-conversion is squeezed to all orders, as well as being intrinsically squeezed to orders 2,6,10,. . . . The same is true for the fundamental mode in second-harmonic generation within the short-time approximation, but in this case there is only intrinsic second-order squeezing. In resonance fluorescence from a two-level atom squeezing is again found to be intrinsically a second-order phenomenon, although an intrinsic second-order effect can give rise to a weak form of higher-order squeezing.

Higher-order squeezing of quantum field and higher-order uncertainty relations in non-degenerate four-wave mixing

Xi-Zeng Li, Su Bao-Xia, Chai Lu

It is found that the field of the combined mode of the probe wave and the phase conjugate wave in the process of non-degenerate four-wave mixing exhibits higher-order squeezing to all even orders. The higher-order squeezed parameter and squeezed limit due to the modulation frequency are investigated. The smaller the modulation frequency is, the stronger the degree of higher-order squeezing becomes. Furthermore, the higher-order uncertainty relations in the process of non-degenerate four-wave mixing are presented for the first time. The product of higher-order noise moments is related to even order number N and the length L of the medium.

Degenerate Parametric Down Conversion of Squeezed Light

Shiqun Li, Ling-An Wu

The quantum fluctuations of the pump and signal waves are derived for degenerate parametric down conversion from a pump field initially in the squeezed state. It is found that, to the quadratic term, while the degree of squeezing of the pump wave decays gradually, that of the generated signal beam increases up to a maximum then decays.

Higher-order squeezing of an optical field

C. K. Hong, L. Mandeļ

The concept of squeezing, which generally implies that one quadrature component of an optical field has measured fluctuations below the vacuum limit, is generalized to higher moments of even order. Higher-order squeezing is encountered in many of the nonlinear processes that generate second-order squeezing. It is shown that the field produced in degenerate parametric downconversion is squeezed to all even orders and is intrinsically squeezed to orders 2,6,10…. Higher-order squeezing also shows up in second harmonic generation and in resonance fluorescence from an atom. However, in those cases there is no intrinsic squeezing beyond the second order, although a strong second-order squeezing effect is manifest in the higher-order moments of the field.
