Measurements of photon statistics in second-harmonic generation

Yujiang Qu, Surendra Singh

Statistical properties of second-harmonic photons generated by a single-mode laser operating near threshold are investigated by means of photoelectric counting measurements. It is found that second-harmonic photons display superthermal fluctuations below threshold where pump statistics are thermal. Above threshold, as the pump field becomes coherent, second-harmonic photons approach Poisson statistics. These measurements, interpreted as two-photon statistics of the fundamental beam, provide experimental evidence for the dependence of the fluctuation properties of a light beam on the process of detection.

Direct detection of super-thermal photon-number statistics in second-harmonic generation

Alessia Allevi, Maria Bondani

Changes in the statistical properties of light undergoing second-harmonic generation are investigated in the photon-number-resolving domain. We theoretically demonstrate that when a portion of multimode thermal light produced by parametric down-conversion is up-converted, both the second-harmonics and the residual beam at the fundamental wavelength are endowed with super-thermal photon-number distributions. The experimental results, which were obtained by exploiting the photo-number-resolving capability of hybrid photodetectors, are in excellent agreement with the theoretical expectations.
