Abstract

The two-photon generator of coherent light formed from entangled photon pairs is proposed. Considering the multi-mode field of micro-cavity in the processes of generation of photon pairs the two-photon resonator losses are proposed. The master equation for cavity biphotons is obtained from quantum treatment of problem. The analytical and numerical stationary solutions for master equation are presented. Also is found that the lasing of light is started from vacuum fluctuations of cavity field. The comparison of proposed model with other two-photon laser models is discussed.

Two-photon lasing stimulated by collective modes

N. A. Enaki, Vitalie Eremeev

Considering the resonator losses in photon pairs the coherence between the photon pairs as the function of number of bimodes is studied. Taking into account the big number of resonator bimodes in which the photon pairs with fixed energy and phase are generated, it is demonstrated that the coherence between the pairs of photons remains larger than the coherence between individual photons. It is shown that the ignition of two-photon lasing from vacuum fluctuations increases with the increase in the number of resonator modes. This effect can be regarded as a collective phenomenon between the resonator bimodes in which the pairs of entangled photons are generated.

The coherent generation of the photon pairs by a stream of excited atoms passing through the cavity

N. A. Enaki, Viorel Ciornea

The problem of the coherent generation of the entanglement photon pairs by an ensemble of the two-level atoms passing through the cavity is studied. The dependence of the generation rate of the photon pairs as a function of the coherent states of the atomic stream is established. Considering that the flying time of the atoms passing through the cavity is less than decay time, a new method of the elimination of atomic variables from the system is proposed. The master equation for multimode cavity electromagnetic field is obtained. Using the Fokker–Planck equations, the steady state solution of this master equation is studied. The quantum properties of the multimode electromagnetic field are analyzed, using the non-diagonal P representation for su (1,1) symmetry.

The kinetic of the two-photon lasing with one and two quanta cavity losses

N. A. Enaki, Marina Ţurcan

The be-quanta generation and the coherent process of the light at two-photon emission it's a new type of the coherence which can be realized between pairs of the particles [14]. This possibility of the emission can be realized in the two-photon laser and maser. The first experiments demonstrate this realization [10]. In this paper it is propose a new system of the kinetic equations which describes the non-coherent and be-quanta coherent emission which take into account emissions and the transition from spontaneous to induced emissions in the system. It is studied the rate of the emission as function of this parameters [17]. It is demonstrate mono-photonics losses from the resonator drastically destroy the coherence between the be-photons.

Continuous-variable entanglement in a correlated spontaneous emission laser

Hua-tang Tan, Shi-Yao Zhu, Muhammad Suhail Zubairy

We discuss the generation and evolution of entangled light in a correlated spontaneous emission laser. The master equation for the two-mode field in a cavity is derived and solved analytically. The time-dependent characteristic function in the Wigner representation for the two-mode field is obtained. It shows that the two-mode field in the cavity evolves in a two-mode Gaussian state. The entanglement degree of the two-mode field in the cavity increases initially, then decreases, and finally vanishes as the field evolves from an initial vacuum. The period of the entanglement is extended as the intensity of the driving field is increased. It is found that the entanglement still exists even when the two-mode squeezing disappears. During the entanglement period, the intensity of the field is amplified. The entanglement for the initial field being a two-mode squeezed vacuum and the entanglement of the output field are also discussed.

Mutual cooperative effects between the mode components of two-photon and Raman induced cavity lasing processes

N. A. Enaki

The paper proposes to unify the two-photon laser and induced cooperative scattering Raman lasing in which the flying ensemble of two-level excited radiators are coupled with the bimodal cavity field in nonlinear two-photon and scattering interactions. It discusses the situation in which the induced two-quantum lasing takes place together with the cooperative scattering conversion of photons between the pump, Stokes, and anti-Stokes cavity modes. The proposed master equation describes cooperative energy exchanges between Raman and two-photon lasing processes by portions of energies multiple to the energy of the entangled photon pair. The generators of such emission and absorption processes belonging to the symmetries of Raman conversion and two-photon cooperative generation are unified. The first symmetry belongs to su(2) algebra connected to the scattering conversion in the Stokes, pump, and anti-Stokes modes of cavity (Opt. Commun.,285(5) (2012) 686–692). The second one belongs to multi-mode su(1,1) symmetry which quantifies the cooperative process belonging to two-photon emission in cavity/fiber mode components of field (see Opt. Commun. 247(4–6) (2005) 381–392). The bimodal collective photon operators are introduced describing the emission or absorption acts of the fixed portion of energy from the cavity equal to the transition energy between the states of each excited atom. A key impact of the study focuses on the statistical properties of the bimodal field and their detection possibilities are proposed for the description of the time evolution of quantum correlations between the field components of Raman conversion and two-photon emission.

Quantum theory of two-photon correlated-spontaneous-emission lasers: Exact atom-field interaction Hamiltonian approach

Ning Lü, Shi-Yao Zhu

A quantum theory of two-photon correlated-spontaneous-emission lasers (CEL's) is developed, starting from the exact atom-field interaction Hamiltonian for cascade three-level atoms interacting with a single-mode radiation field. We consider the situation where the active atoms are prepared initially in a coherent superposition of three atomic levels and derive a master equation for the field-density operator by using a quantum theory for coherently pumped lasers. The master equation is transformed into a Fokker-Planck equation for the antinormal-ordering Q function. The drift coefficients of the Fokker-Planck equation enable us to study the steady-state operation of the two-photon CEL's analytically. We have studied both resonant two-photon CEL for which there is no threshold, and off-resonant two-photon CEL for which there exists a threshold. In both cases the initial atomic coherences provide phase locking, and squeezing in the phase quadrature of the field is found. The off-resonant two-photon CEL can build up from a vacuum when its linear gain is larger than the cavity loss (even without population inversion). Maximum squeezing is found in the no-population-inversion region with the laser intensities far below saturation in both cases, which are more than 90% for the resonant two-photon CEL and nearly 50% for the off-resonant one. Approximate steady-state Q functions are obtained for the resonant two-photon CEL and, in certain circumstances, for the off-resonant one.
