Amplitude squeezing through photon fractioning

Giacomo Mauro D’Ariano

A prototype mechanism for producing amplitude-squeezed states, based on the so-called ``photon fractioning'' procedure, is investigated. The coherent state is connected with a quasinumber eigenstate through an intermediate density matrix involving multiphoton processes. The enhancement in the phase fluctuations and the simultaneous reduction of the noise in the photon number result from two competing limits; the ``bright limit,'' which is semiclassical and requires highly excited states, and the photon fractioning limit, which is pure quantum. Asymptotical evaluations of the number probability distribution and of the Q function show that the mixed states are very close to the exact number-phase minimum-uncertainty states.

Hamiltonian models of multiphoton processes and four--photon squeezed states via nonlinear canonical transformations

Silvio De Siena, Antonio Di Lisi, Fabrizio Illuminati

We introduce nonlinear canonical transformations that yield effective Hamiltonians of multiphoton down conversion processes, and we define the associated non-Gaussian multiphoton squeezed states as the coherent states of the multiphoton Hamiltonians. We study in detail the four-photon processes and the associated non-Gaussian four-photon squeezed states. The realization of squeezing, the behavior of the field statistics, and the structure of the phase space distributions show that these states realize a natural four-photon generalization of the two-photon squeezed states.

Exact theory of multiphoton processes and four-photon squeezed states via nonlinear canonical transformations

Silvio De Siena, Antonio Di Lisi, Fabrizio Illuminati

We introduce nonlinear canonical transformations that yield effective, solvable Hamiltonians of multiphoton down-conversion processes, and we define the associated non-Gaussian multiphoton squeezed states as the coherent states of the multiphoton Hamiltonians. We study in detail the four-photon processes and the associated non-Gaussian four-photon squeezed states. The realization of squeezing, the behaviour of the field statistics, and the structure of the phase space distributions show that these states realize a natural four-photon generalization of the two-photon squeezed states.
