Abstract

The quantum aspects like entanglement and quantum distances between quantum states in the Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) process are studied using the simpliest model of two-dimensional oscillator with quadratic interaction. The two modes of the oscillator represent the photons of the Stokes mode and the phonons of the medium respectively. The SRS process is discussed in the probability representation of quantum mechanics. The exact formulae for tomograms are given for the symplectic and photon number tomography schemes. The phenomenon of entanglement is investigated. It is shown that after the interaction of laser field with the medium the state of photon-phonon mode is in entangled states, in view of Peres-Horodecki-Simon criterion. The tomographic entropy associated with photon-phonon mode state is introduced. The quantum distance between the states of photon-phonon mode appearing in the case of different initial states of the medium is discussed.

Photon distribution function, tomograms and entanglement in stimulated Raman scattering

Sergey Vladimirovich Kuznetsov, Olga V Man apos ko, Nicolaii V. Tcherniega

Several aspects of the stimulated Raman scattering process are studied using the model of a two-dimensional oscillator. The photons of the Stokes mode are taken as one mode of the oscillator and the phonons of the medium are taken as the other mode of the oscillator. The interaction Hamiltonian of the photons and phonons is taken to be quadratic in the annihilation and creation operators of photons and phonons. The laser is considered as a classical light source and its depletion is neglected. The photon?phonon joint probability distribution function is found and expressed in terms of Hermite polynomials of four variables. The general formula for the photon number probability distribution as a function of the laser-field intensity and the medium parameters is obtained in terms of Hermite polynomials of two variables. It is shown that the phenomenon of entanglement appears in photon?phonon modes due to the interaction of the light with the medium. The tomograms of the photon?phonon states and (averaged over the phonon mode) photon states are investigated within the framework of a symplectic tomography scheme.

Photon distribution function for stimulated Raman scattering

Olga V. Man’ko

The process of stimulated Raman scattering is described by the model of 2D oscillator. The photons of Stokes mode are described by one mode of the oscillator and phonons of the medium are described by the other mode of oscillator. The interaction of photons and phonons is taken to be quadratic in the creation and annihilation operators of the photons and phonons. New time-dependent integrals of motion are found for stimulated Raman scattering within the framework of this model. The photon-phonon probability-distribution function is found in terms of Hermite polynomials of four variables. It is shown that the squeezing phenomenon can be transferred from one mode to the other due to interaction. The statistical dependence appears due to interaction as well. An explicit formula of the photon-number probability distribution as a function of the laser-field intensity and the medium parameters is obtained both in terms of Hermite polynomials of two variables and in terms of Legendre polynomials after the averaging of the photon-phonon probability-distribution function over the phonon mode. The mean photon number and its dispersion in the Stokes mode are expressed as functions of the medium parameters and a parameter of the interaction. It is shown that if the medium is initially prepared, then after the interaction with laser field the photons are created in squeezed state. The classical propagator for stimulated Raman scattering is found within the framework of the symplectic tomography scheme.

Semiclassical model of stimulated Raman scattering in photonic crystals

Lucia Florescu, Xiang Zhang

We study the stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) of light from an atomic system embedded in a photonic crystal and coherently pumped by a laser field. In our study, the electromagnetic field is treated classically and the atomic system is described quantum mechanically. Considering a decomposition of the pump and Stokes fields into the Bloch modes of the photonic crystals and using a multiscale analysis, we derive the Maxwell-Bloch equations for SRS in photonic crystals. These equations contain effective parameters that characterize the SRS gain, the nonlinear atomic response to the electromagnetic field, and the group velocity and that can be calculated in terms of the Bloch modes of the unperturbed photonic crystal. We show that if the pump laser frequency is tuned near a photonic band edge and the atomic system is carefully chosen such that the Stokes mode matches another photonic band edge, low-threshold, enhanced Raman amplification is possible. Possible physical realizations of SRS in photonic crystals are also discussed.

Stokes-anti-Stokes entanglement in stimulated Raman scattering

Alexei Vladimirovich Chizhov

A cavity model of Raman scattering from phonons by an undepleted laser field is considered. The fields in the interaction are coupled to the boson reservoir that produces the damping mechanism in the model. An analysis for the origination of quantum entanglement between the Stokes and anti-Stokes fields, depending on their coupling constants with the reservoir bosons and on the state of the reservoir, is performed under the assumption of the initial coherent state of phonons.
