Abstract

We investigate the quantum statistics of the fields produced when squeezed light is used as input in certain three-wave and four-wave interactions such as second harmonic generation and degenerate four-wave mixing.

Fluctuation properties of squeezed photon beams generated in three wave mixing processes such as second harmonic generation, degenerate and nondegenerate parametric oscillations, and homodyne detection are studied in terms of photon sequences recorded by a photodetector.

Quantum Statistics of Degenerate Four-Wave Mixing

M. D. Reid, Daniel F. Walls

Four-wave mixing has been proposed as a likely candidate to produce squeezed states of light.1 Present experimental proposals favor four-wave mixing in an atomic medium. For this reason we have investigated the effect of the quantization of the atomic medium on the squeezing in the output field.

Second harmonic generation with photon number squeezed light as input

Meijuan Wu, Ling-An Wu, Shiqun Li

We investigate the quantum statistics of the fields produced in second harmonic generation when photon number squeezed light is used as input. It is found that the squeezed properties of the pump beam can be transferred to a certain extent to the second harmonic beam. The normalized photon fluctuations, or Fano factors, of the fundamental and second harmonic output fields are derived for various values of the interaction parameters.
