Abstract

We have studied the generation of squeezing by nondegenerate four-wave mixing in a system of three-level atoms. The conditions for obtaining a large degree of squeezing in experiments with Rydberg atoms are given.

Quantum theory of nondegenerate four-wave mixing

M. D. Reid, Daniel F. Walls

A fully quantum-mechanical theory of nondegenerate four-wave mixing in a system of two-level atoms is presented. The squeezing in the output field from an intracavity four-wave-mixing experiment is calculated. The theory is compared with the recent experimental results of Slusher, Hollberg, Yurke, Mertz, and Valley and strategies to improve the squeezing are suggested.

A review of the current status of squeezed state generation and an anaysis of squeezing in nondegenerate four-wave mixing in two-level atoms are given. The case of intracavity cavity four-wave mixing with a noncollinear pump is analyzed and compared to the recent experiments of Slusher et at.1 For comparison the cases of a collinear pump and perfect phase matching are considered. The conditions for optimum squeezing are calculated.

Quantum theory of nondegenerate multiwave mixing

Seng‐Tiong Ho, Prem Kumar, Jeffrey H. Shapiro

Recently there has been much interest in the quantum theory of multiwave mixing in atomic media, partly due to the promise of generating squeezed states of light using four-wave mixing (FWM) schemes, which need a quantized electro-magnetic-field theory to assess the effect of propagation loss and spontaneous emission on squeezing. In fact, squeezed states have recently been observed in an intracavity nondegenerate backward FWM experiment in an atomic beam of sodium.1

Squeezing Property of Two-mode Cavity Field in a Nondegenerate Four-wave Mixing System

Wenwu Deng

We apply nondegenerate four-wave mixing processes to the generation of squeezed light and study the evolution of squeezed light with time.We get the master equation of the two-mode field.We also show that the two-mode cavity field exhibits stable squeezing under some conditions.The degree of the squeezing is dependent upon the two photon intensity I2,the cooperativity parameter C and the side-mode detuning.

Degenerate four-wave mixing and squeezing in pumped three-level atomic systems

Abstract Using degenerate four-wave mixing squeezing is studied in pumped three-level atomic systems. It is found that better squeezing obtains with a three-level system than with a two-level one.
