Abstract

Squeezing of electro-magnetic field, which is a purely quantum phenomenon has attracted considerable attention owing to its low noise property with applications in high quality telecommunication. This quantum effect is expected to manifest itself in optical processes in which the nonlinear response of the system to the radiation field plays an important role. In this paper squeezing of electro- magnetic field in some multi-photon processes are investigated under short-time approximation. The processes studied include Raman and hyper Raman processes and sum- frequency generation. The coupled Heisenberg equations of motion for field operators are set up and solved under short-time approximation. The occurrence of squeezing of field is investigated using the required conditions of squeezing in each of the cases. The squeezing is found to exist in the fundamental mode and the squeezing in the generated field depends on squeezing in fundamental mode. Squeezing in higher order amplitudes are also studied. This corresponds to the squeezing of the variables which describe the real and imaginary parts of square and cube of the complex amplitudes of the radiation field. The higher order multimode sum squeezing of radiation field is dealt with for harmonic and sum frequency generation. It s shown that squeezing in the sum frequency field depends directly on the sum squeezing of fundamental modes. The results can be utilized in selecting a suitable process which will generate a radiation field with optimum squeezing and can be useful in high quality telecommunication.

nTH-ORDER AMPLITUDE SQUEEZING EFFECTS OF RADIATION IN MULTIPHOTON PROCESSES

Dilip Kumar Giri, Partha Sarathi Gupta

Squeezing of the electromagnetic field is a purely quantum mechanical phenomenon and this quantum effect is expected to manifest itself in optical processes in which the nonlinear response of the system to the radiation field plays an important role. It has generated a great deal of interest in view of the possibility of reducing the noise of an optical signal below the vacuum limit i.e. zero-point oscillations. In this paper the concept of nth-order amplitude squeezing is introduced in the fundamental mode in four- and six-wave mixing processes as a generalization of the higher-order squeezing under short-time approximation based on a fully quantum mechanical approach. It established the coupled Heisenberg equations of motion involving real and imaginary parts of the quadrature operators. The condition for occurrence of nth-order squeezing is obtained from which higher-order squeezing upto n=3 are studied. Dependence of squeezing on photon number is also established. The conditions for obtaining maximum and minimum squeezing are obtained. The method of present investigation can be applied to any higher-order non-linear optical processes and the technique can also be extended for studying squeezing in any N-photon process in general. Further, nth-order squeezing of radiation in N-photon process can also be investigated. The results obtained may help in selecting a suitable process to generate optimum squeezing in the radiation field.

THE AMPLITUDE SQUEEZING EFFECTS OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD IN SIX-WAVE INTERACTION MODEL

Dilip Kumar Giri, Partha Sarathi Gupta

The amplitude squeezing properties of the electromagnetic field is investigated in the fundamental, Stokes (probe) and signal mode in six-wave mixing process under short-time approximation based on a fully quantum mechanical approach. The interaction is looked upon as a process involving absorption of two pump photons and emission of three probe photons and one signal photon at different frequencies. The coupled Heisenberg quantum mechanical equations of motion involving real and imaginary parts of the quadrature operators are established and solved under short-time scale. The occurrence of amplitude squeezing effects in both the quadrature of the radiation field in the fundamental mode as well as in the Stokes (probe) mode is investigated using the required conditions of squeezing in each of the cases. It is also shown that the squeezing in the signal mode is found to be dependent on amplitude-squared squeezing of the initial pump field. This gives a method of converting higher-order (amplitude-squared) squeezing into normal squeezing.

Squeezing of radiation in nonlinear optical processes

Partha Sarathi Gupta

Squeezing of radiation is a purely quantum mechanical phenomenon which has no classical counterpart. This quantum effect is expected to manifest itself in optical processes in which the nonlinear response of the system to the radiation field plays an important role. The concept of squeezing started in mid 1980s. Since then there has been an enormous upsurge of interest in this field owing to its low noise property. In the present paper various aspects of squeezing of radiation are studied and possible means of generation of squeezed light in which the quantum fluctuations are reduced below shot noise limit are investigated. The amplitude of the electric field of a mode of an electromagnetic field is always associated with quantum mechanical fluctuations. Squeezing states are characterised by reduced quantum fluctuations in one quadrature component of the field at the expense of increased fluctuations in the other noncommuting component. A fully quantum mechanical approach is followed. In the present paper we intend to review different aspects of squeezing and higher order squeezing in higher order Raman processes as well as in multiwave mixing processes. A comparative study between different processes are made which will pave a way for easier generation of squeezed light.

Higher-order squeezing of the electromagnetic field in spontaneous and stimulated Raman processes

Dilip Kumar Giri, Partha Sarathi Gupta

The occurrence of fourth and fifth-order squeezing in the fundamental mode of the electromagnetic field in spontaneous and stimulated Raman processes under the short-time approximation is investigated on the basis of a fully quantum-mechanical approach. In an idealized model, the Raman process is looked upon as a two-photon on a one phonon interaction process. The coupled Heisenberg equations of motion involving real and imaginary parts of the quadrature operators are established. The dependence of fourth- and fifth-order squeezing in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio on the number of photons is investigated. We have also established the amplitude squeezing effects in the Stokes and vibrational modes, which is found to be dependent on higher-order difference squeezing showing a difference squeezing that can be converted to normal squeezing.

Determination of Sum Squeezing of the Field Amplitude in Frequency Upconversion Process

Dilip Kumar Giri, Binod Kumar Choudhary

Sum squeezing of the field amplitude is studied in the nondegenerate and degenerate frequency upconversion process under the short interaction time. A state is squeezed when the quantum fluctuation (amplitude noise or phase noise) in one variable is reduced below the symmetric limit at the expense of the increased quantum fluctuation in the conjugate variable such that the Heisenberg uncertainty relation is not violated. It is shown that sum squeezing can be converted into normal squeezing via sum-frequency generation in the nondegenerate frequency upconversion process, while the amplitude-squared squeezing of the fundamental mode directly changed into the squeezing of the harmonic in the degenerate frequency upconversion process. All reachable conditions of uncorrelated modes for obtaining a sum squeezing in two modes and its dependence on the squeezing of individual field modes are investigated. It is found that the squeezed states are associated with large number of pump photons. It is also confirmed that the higher-order squeezing (sum squeezing) is directly associated with coupling of the field and interaction time. The results obtained in this chapter are of interest for new experiments on the study of nonlinear optical processes in dielectric media using ultrashort intense laser pulses as exciting radiation, and the effects of damping and decoherence as well as higher-order time terms could be investigated.
