Berry's phase in the degenerate parametric amplifier
Christopher C. Gerry
Abstract
We discuss the manifestation of Berry’s phase1 in connection with the degenerate parametric amplifier (DPA). Previously,2 Berry’s phase has been discussed in connection with a two-level atom interacting with a resonant electromagnetic field whose phase is varied adiabatically. In the present work we are basically replacirtg the compact system [SU(2) for the two-level atom] by a noncompact system [SU(1,1) for the DPA3].
