Squeezing of Field in the System of a Kerr Medium Embedded in a Nondegenerate Two-Photon Absorption Cavity

Gao‐xiang Li, PENG JIN-SHENG, Peng Zhou

Squeezing properties of field in the system of a Kerr medium embedded in a non-degenerate two-photon absorption cavity interacting with a two-mode uncorrelated coherent field are discussed. We find that both the two-mode squeezing and the sum squeezing of field can arise and can be enhanced due to the Kerr effect.

Statistical properties of squeezed Kerr states

Christopher C. Gerry, R. Grobe

We study the statistical properties of squeezed Kerr states generated by squeezing, with a two-photon parametric process, the output of a Kerr medium whose input is coherent light. The squeezing has the effect of allowing the photon statistics to depend on the Kerr nonlinearity. Without the squeezing the statistics are Poissonian, but after squeezing they may be either sub-Poissonian or super-Poissonian. We also study the Q-function quasiprobability distribution for these states and related distributions associated with the quantum-mechanical phase. Finally, we show that quadrature squeezing can be enhanced and that squeezing and sub-Poissonian statistics can coexist.

Two schemes for characterization and detection of the squeezed light: dynamical Casimir effect and nonlinear materials

H Lotfipour, Z Allameh, R Roknizadeh +1 more

Abstract Using two different schemes, a non-classical-squeezed state of light is detected and characterized. In the first scheme, in a one-dimensional cavity with a moving mirror (non-stationary Casimir effect) in the principal mode, we study the photon generation rate for two modes (squeezed and coherent state) of a driving field. Since the cavity with the moving mirror (similar to an optomechanical system) can be considered an analogue to a Kerr-like medium, in the second scheme, the probability amplitude for multi-photon absorption in a nonlinear (Kerr) medium will be quantum mechanically calculated. It is shown that because of the presence of nonlinear effects, the responses of these two systems to the squeezed versus coherent state are considerably distinguishable. The drastic difference between the results of these two states of light can be viewed as a proposal for detecting non-classical states.
