Amplitude-squared and amplitude-cubed squeezing in stimulated Raman and in spontaneous Raman scattering

Abstract

Coherent light coupled to a third-order nonlinear medium is responsible for spontaneous and for stimulated Raman processes. The analytical solutions up to second order in coupling constants of various field modes for spontaneous Raman and for stimulated Raman processes are utilized to obtain the amplitude-squared and amplitude-cubed squeezing of the input coherent light. The amplitude-squared and amplitude-cubed squeezing are completely ruled out for all modes for spontaneous Raman processes. For stimulated Raman processes, we observe that the squeezing for amplitude-squared and amplitude-cubed are possible for pump and for vibrational phonon modes. It is found that the percentage of higher ordered amplitude squeezing decreases with the increase of the orders. The squeezing in Stokes and in anti-Stokes modes are ruled out even for stimulated Raman processes.

Short-time squeezing in spontaneous Raman and stimulated Raman scattering

Ashok Kumar, Partha Sarathi Gupta

The non-classical effect of squeezing of light in spontaneous Raman and stimulated Raman processes are investigated under a short-time approximation based on a fully quantum mechanical approach. A Raman process is looked upon as a two-photon and one-phonon interaction process. Squeezing in amplitude, amplitude squared and amplitude cubed have been investigated. The occurrence of squeezing is observed in the fundamental mode in spontaneous Raman and stimulated Raman scattering. The squeezing in a Stokes field is found to be dependent on squeezing of the initial pump field.

Higher-order amplitude squeezing in hyper-Raman scattering under short-time approximation

Ashok Kumar, Partha Sarathi Gupta

The nonclassical effect of squeezing of light in hyper-Raman processes is investigated under the short-time approximation based on a fully quantum mechanical approach. Effects of squeezing in spontaneous and stimulated processes are studied. A hyper-Raman process is looked upon as a three-photon and one-phonon interaction process. Squeezing in amplitude, squared amplitude and cubed amplitude have been investigated. Squeezing occurs invariably in the fundamental mode in both spontaneous and stimulated processes, whereas the squeezing in the Stokes mode is found to be dependent on amplitude-squared squeezing of the initial pump field.

Squeezing, photon bunching, photon antibunching and nonclassical photon statistics in degenerate hyper Raman processes

Biswajit Sen, Swapan Mandal

An initially prepared coherent state coupled to a second-order nonlinear medium is responsible for stimulated and spontaneous hyper Raman processes. By using an intuitive approach based on perturbation theory, the Hamiltonian corresponding to the hyper Raman processes is analytically solved to obtain the temporal development of the field operators. It is true that these analytical solutions are valid for small coupling constants. However, the interesting part is that these solutions are valid for reasonably large time. Hence, the present analytical solutions are quite general and are fresh compared to those solutions under short-time approximations. By exploiting the analytical solutions of field operators for various modes, we investigate the squeezing, photon antibunching and nonclassical photon statistics for pure modes of the input coherent light responsible for hyper Raman processes. At least in one instance (stimulated hyper Raman processes for vibration phonon mode), we report the simultaneous appearance of classical (photon bunching) and nonclassical (squeezing) effects of the radiation field responsible for hyper Raman processes.

Sub-shot noise photon-number correlation in stimulated and spontaneous Raman processes

Biswajit Sen, Vlasta Peřinová, A. Lukš +2 more

The light initially prepared in a coherent state runs the stimulated and spontaneous Raman processes in a second-order nonlinear medium. Using analytical expressions of field operators for the light modes, we determine the quantum statistical properties of the modes in the stimulated and spontaneous Raman processes. By a choice of phase, we obtain a boson-pair property correlating the pump and vibration modes and such a property correlating the pump and anti-Stokes modes. The Stokes and vibration modes exhibit the boson-pair property for all initial phase differences between the pump mode and the other ones. In the spontaneous Raman process only the Stokes and vibration modes show such a property.

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.

Quantum statistical properties of the radiation field in spontaneous Raman and stimulated Raman processes

Biswajit Sen, Swapan Mandal, Jan Peřina

The initially prepared coherent state coupled to a third-order nonlinear medium is responsible for stimulated Raman and spontaneous Raman processes. By exploiting the analytical solutions of field operators for various modes, we investigate the quantum statistical properties for pure and two modes of the input coherent light responsible for stimulated Raman and spontaneous Raman processes. For spontaneous Raman processes the photons are unbunched for the pure and two-mode cases. By a suitable choice of phase, we obtain the bunching and antibunching of photons for stimulated Raman processes.
