We study various non classical effects of light like reduction of quantum phase fluctuation, antibunching and minimum total noise present in various nonlinear optical processes.Further, we have shown that depth of non-classicality can be directly measured using all these parameters.We have done the comparative study to correlate these non-classical effects in seven wave mixing, eight wave mixing and third harmonic generation.

Abstract The processes that we have already described in quantum optics undoubtedly produce effects which are specifically quantum or ‘non-classical’ in nature. In this chapter we will first give more precise criteria for our notion of nonclassical light and then consider specific examples of non-classical experiments in optics. We conclude with a detailed discussion of parametric down-conversion as an example of a practical source of non-classical light.
