Abstract

The distribution functions of photons in squeezed and correlated light for one-mode and multimode cases are obtained based on the method of integrals of motion. Correlation coefficient and squeezing parameter are calculated. The possibility to generate squeezed light using nonstationary Casimir effect is discussed. Quantum parametric Josephson junction is proposed as quantum vacuum generator of electrical vibrations.

Photon-counting statistics of multimode squeezed light

Jianming Huang, Prem Kumar

We present photon-counting distributions of multimode squeezed light of bandwidth B. Such light, for example, is generated by the intracavity parametric down-converter of Wu et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 57, 2520 (1986)], which has now become a standard source for generating highly squeezed light. By expanding the electric-field operator into relevant modes over the counting interval T and applying the Bogoliubov transformation that generates squeezing, we calculate the photon-counting distributions under both BT\ensuremath{\gg}1 and BT\ensuremath{\ll}1 conditions. We find that the probability for counting an odd number of photons is identically zero under the former condition, whereas the latter is equivalent to having a photodetector with quantum efficiency that is much less than unity.

Photon statistics of multimode squeezed light

Jianming Huang, Prem Kumar

In this paper, we present photon‐counting distributions of multimode squeezed light of bandwidth B. By expanding the electric‐field operator into relevant modes over the counting interval T and applying the Bogoliubov transformation that generates squeezing, we calculate the counting distributions under both T≂2π/B and T≫2π/B conditions. Effect of nonunity quantum efficiency of the photodetector is also considered.

On Amplification of Light in the Continuous EPR State

В. Н. Горбачев, Andrew I. Trubilko

Two schemes of amplification of two-mode squeezed light in the continuous variable EPR-state are considered. They are based on the integrals of motion, which allow conserving quantum correlations whereas the power of each mode may increase. One of these schemes involves a three-photon parametric process in a nonlinear transparent medium and the other is a Raman type interaction of light with atomic ensemble. A generalization to multimode squeezed light is discussed.

Preparation of squeezed light with low average photon number based on dynamic Casimir effect

Na 娜 Li 李, Zi-Jian 资鉴 Lin 林, Mei-Song Wei +4 more

It is well known that squeezed states can be produced by nonlinear optical processes, such as parametric amplification and four wave mixing, in which two photons are created or annihilated simultaneously. Since the Hamiltonian of the dynamic Casimir effect contains a 2 and a +2, photons in such a process are also generated or annihilated in pairs. Here we propose to get squeezed light through the dynamic Casimir effect. Specifically, we demonstrate it from the full quantum perspective and the semiclassical perspective successively. Different from previous work, we focus on generating squeezed states with the lowest average photon number, because such squeezed states have better quantum properties. For the full quantum picture, that is, phonons also have quantum properties, when the system is initially in the excited state of phonons, squeezed light cannot be generated during the evolution, but the light field can collapse to the squeezed state by measuring the state of phonons. When the phonon is treated as a classical quantity, that is, the cavity wall is continuously driven, squeezed light with the minimum average photon number will be generated in the case of off-resonance. This will play a positive role in better regulating the photon state generated by the dynamic Casimir system in the future.

Multidimensional Hermite polynomials and photon distribution for polymode mixed light

V. V. Dodonov, Olga V. Man’ko, Vladimir I. Man’ko

The photon distribution function of an N-mode mixed state of light described by the Wigner function of generic Gaussian form is calculated explicitly in terms of the Hermite polynomials of 2N variables with equal pairs of indices. Simple formulas for the mean values and dispersions of photon numbers are found. The N-mode photon distribution functions for squeezed photon number states and for squeezed coherent states are expressed in terms of the Hermite polynomials of 2N and N variables, respectively.
