Kerr noise reduction and squeezing

Andrew G. White, Ping Koy Lam, David E. McClelland +2 more

We introduce a model of squeezing and noise reduction in the Kerr effect that accounts for noise in all quadratures of the driving field. Consequently we show that Kerr squeezing is much more sensitive to driving noise than squeezing produced by second harmonic generation (SHG). We experimentally demonstrate this sensitivity using a nonlinear system that tunes between strong classical SHG and Kerr behaviours. Whilst the system experiences strong squeezing in the SHG limit, it experiences no squeezing in the Kerr limit, although it does experience strong classical noise reduction, or `classical squeezing'.

Mimicking a Kerrlike medium in the dispersive regime of second-harmonic generation

Klimov, A B, Sánchez-Soto, L L, Delgado, J C

We find an effective Hamiltonian describing the process of second-harmonic generation in the far-off resonant limit. We show that the dynamics of the fundamental mode is governed by a Kerrlike Hamiltonian. Some dynamical consequences are examined.

Quantum phase properties of impeded second-harmonic generation

Vlasta Peřinová, A. Lukš, J. Křepelka

Using the statistical characteristics of the photon number, quantum phase and field quadratures, based on the preferred phase, we have demonstrated a Kerr-like behaviour for the cascaded second-order nonlinearities and have studied thoroughly the oscillations superimposed on the Kerr-like trend for an input coherent state. We have performed a global study over the entire quantum period in an idealized model of the trend of this process based on the lossless Kerr progression.
