Generation of quadrature-squeezed light during the propagation of a light wave in a birefringent fiber

Sergey A. Podoshvedov

It is shown that generation of quadrature-squeezed states of a vector electromagnetic field in which quantum fluctuations in one of the quadrature components are smaller than in the coherent state can occur in cubically nonlinear media (birefringent fibers) with efficient energy transfer between the polarization modes of the field. It is shown that for certain distributions of the initial total power between modes, light with suppressed quantum fluctuations in both polarization modes of the vector field is formed at the fiber exit. The optimal conditions for obtaining quadrature-squeezed light are determined. New analytical expressions are obtained for the degree of squeezing in the two polarization modes in the case when there is no energy transfer between the polarization components of the field propagating in the fiber (eigenmodes of two-wave mixing).

Polarization-squeezed light and quantum degree of polarization (A review)

A. S. Chirkin

A brief review of theoretical studies of the quantum state of polarization of light exhibiting the level of fluctuations in at least one of the Stokes parameters which is below the quantum noise limit is presented. Two approaches to generation of polarization-squeezed state of light are analyzed in detail: by propagating coherent radiation in a cubic nonlinear medium and by mixing radiation of two orthogonally polarized quadrature-squeezed modes. The degree of polarization of light is discussed. Other areas of quantum polarization optics, in particular, entanglement of quantum Stokes parameters and quantum polarization tomography, are also discussed.

Characteristics of the formation of squeezed states in the self-interaction of partially coherent and incompletely polarised light

Aleksey A. Orlov, Anatolii S Chirkin

The propagation of partially coherent single-mode and two-mode radiations with orthogonal polarisations in media with a cubic optical nonlinearity is considered for the first time. Partially coherent light is regarded as a superposition of coherent and thermal radiations. It is shown that quantum and thermal fluctuations of a quadrature component may be suppressed in the self-interaction of partially coherent single-mode light. In the case of the self-interaction of incompletely polarised light can suppress fully only those fluctuations of the Stokes parameters (S 2 or S 3 ), which are associated with quantum fluctuations of the coherent component.
