ORDINARY AND AMPLITUDE SQUARED SQUEEZING IN FOUR WAVE MIXING PROCESS

Pramila Shukla, Ranjana Prakash

Published Apr 18, 2013• 4 citations

Abstract

Squeezing in four wave mixing process was studied recently using perturbation method by Giri and Gupta [D. K. Giri and P. S. Gupta, J. Opt. B: Quantum Semiclass. Opt.6 (2004) 91.] We reexamine this using a coherent intense pump mode and with a much better approximation which results in validity of our results for much larger interaction times. We find that for the range of phase where these authors obtained squeezing, only a small squeezing is obtained for a brief period but larger squeezing at large times is obtained in the other range of phase. We also obtain larger amplitude squared squeezing.

The squeezing of radiation in four-wave mixing processes

Dilip Kumar Giri, Partha Sarathi Gupta

Squeezing of the electromagnetic field is investigated in the pump, Stokes and parametric mode in spontaneous and stimulated four-wave mixing processes under a short-time approximation based on a fully quantum mechanical approach. The occurrence of squeezing in amplitude and amplitude squared of the fundamental mode has been investigated. The dependence of squeezing on the photon number is noticed and the degree of squeezing in the first and second-order is also investigated. Squeezing occurs in the fundamental mode in both spontaneous and stimulated processes, whereas squeezing in the Stokes and parametric modes is found to be dependent on squeezing of the initial pump field.

SQUEEZING EFFECTS IN THE SUM AND DIFFERENCE OF THE FIELD AMPLITUDE IN THE RAMAN PROCESS

Biswajit Sen, Swapan Mandal

Under the short-time approximation, Giri and Gupta1 investigated the sum and difference squeezing of the field amplitude in the Raman process. The relations between the normal squeezing and the sum and difference squeezing of the field amplitude are explicitly exhibited. They argued that the sum and difference squeezing of the field amplitude are essentially the squeezing in higher-order sense. Upon verification of the results of Giri and Gupta, we observe that the entire calculations and the conclusions thereof are misleading and baseless. To substantiate our claim, we give the correct expressions for the useful variances. Interestingly, there is no possibility of getting normal squeezing, sum squeezing and difference squeezing of the input state prepared in coherent state.

SQUEEZING AND PHOTON STATISTICS IN FIVE-WAVE MIXING PROCESS

Sunil Rani, Jawahar Lal, Nafa Singh

We investigate theoretically the generation of squeezed states in spontaneous and stimulated five-wave mixing process. It has been found that squeezing occurs in field amplitude, amplitude-squared, amplitude-cubed and fourth-order amplitude states of the fundamental mode in the process. It is found to be dependent on coupling parameter g and phase values of the field amplitude of the fundamental mode. The process involves the absorption of two pump photons each having frequency ω1, emission of two probe photons of same frequency ω2 and a signal photon of frequency ω3. It is shown that squeezing is greater in a stimulated interaction than the corresponding squeezing in the spontaneous process. It is found that the degree of squeezing depends on the photon number in the first and higher orders. We study the statistical behaviour of quantum field in the fundamental mode. It has been found that the field shows sub-Poissonian behavior in this mode.

Comments on ‘Higher order squeezing of the electromagnetic field in spontaneous and in stimulated Raman processes’

Biswajit Sen, Swapan Mandal

Of late, Giri and Gupta [J. Mod. Opt. 52 1769 (2005)] discussed the possibility of getting higher order (fourth and fifth orders) squeezing of the fundamental mode in spontaneous Raman and in stimulated Raman processes. These investigations are based on the earlier works of Kumar and Gupta [Quantum Semiclass. Opt. 7 835 (1995)]. We reinvestigate the model and we found that the entire calculations and hence the conclusion of Giri and Gupta and Kumar and Gupta are not only baseless but also misleading. There will be no squeezing of the fundamental mode in spontaneous and in Raman processes.

The Spectrum of Squeezing in Degenerate Four‐Wave Mixing

Luigi A. Lugiato, Wang Kaige

Abstract We analyze a simple model for degenerate four wave mixing, introduced by Savage and Walls. In the resonant case, the system exhibits a phase instability when the pump intensity is increased well beyond the threshold for generation of the signal mode. Still in the resonant configuration, we calculate the amplitude and phase squeezing spectra both for the signal and the pump mode. In the signal (pump) mode, the squeezing becomes especially large when the signal (pump) mode is much more damped than the pump (signal) mode. The signal field can exhibit both phase and amplitude squeezing, in distinct domains of the parameter space. On the other hand, the pump field can show squeezing only in the amplitude quadrature component. In general, the model exhibits sizable squeezing over very extended regions of the parameter space.
