Abstract

In seven wave mixing non-linear optical process having pump photons of dissimilar frequencies, higher order non classical properties were studied. It is shown that as we go into the higher order of the field amplitude and with an increase in the number of photons existing in the system before non-linear medium interaction, nonclassicality increases. In addition, we have also obtained higher order antibunching of photons that can be used as a criterion to obtain a single source of photons, which is the primary prerequisite for the quantum information processing.

Abstract Single photon source for use in quantum cryptography should show higher order photon antibunching. We have analyzed non classical effect i.e. higher order photon antibunching in pump mode of eight-wave mixing non linear optical process using short time interaction technique and also the dependence of non classicality on the number of photons prior to interaction in non linear medium. Further we have reported that higher the order of photon antibunching, higher will be the probability to generate single photon source utilized in quantum cryptography.

Study of nonclassicality in fifth harmonic generation nonlinear optical process

Priyanka, Savita Gill

We have examined non classical effect i.e. higher order single mode antibunching and intermodel antibunching and higher order sub-poissonian photon statistics (HOSPS) in fifth harmonic generation non linear optical process using short time interaction technique.We have found that nonclassical effects directly depend on number of photons prior to interaction with non linear medium.The higher the number of photons present prior to an interaction, the higher will be the nonclassicality in the system.It is additionally found that stoke mode doesn't fulfill the condition of single mode antibunching and HOSPS in fifth harmonic generation process.To examine the optical nonlinearity of nanoparticles, there are significant research efforts concerning the estimation of higher order nonlinear susceptibility which can be utilized as a source for the generation of higher order harmonic generation nonlinear optical processes [19].

Higher-Order Amplitude Squeezing in Six-Wave Mixing Process

Sunil Rani, Jawahar Lal, Nafa Singh

We investigate theoretically the generation of squeezed states in spontaneous and stimulated six-wave mixing process quantum mechanically. It has been found that squeezing occurs in field amplitude, amplitude-squared, amplitude-cubed, and fourth power of field amplitude of fundamental mode in the process. It is found to be dependent on coupling parameter “g” (characteristics of higher-order susceptibility tensor) and phase values of the field amplitude under short-time approximation. Six-wave mixing is a process which involves absorption of three pump photons and emission of two probe photons of the same frequency and a signal photon of different frequency. It is shown that squeezing is greater in a stimulated interaction than the corresponding squeezing in spontaneous process. The degree of squeezing depends upon the photon number in first and higher orders of field amplitude. We study the statistical behaviour of quantum field in the fundamental mode and found it to be sub-Poissonian in nature. The signal-to-noise ratio has been studied in different orders. It is found that signal-to-noise ratio is higher in lower orders. This study when supplemented with experimental observations offers possibility of improving performance of many optical devices and optical communication networks.

Photon antibunching in sixth harmonic generation

Rupesh Singh, Dilip Kumar Giri

We studied photon antibunching in the pump and the harmonic modes of the sixth harmonic generation process. The generalized interaction Hamiltonian is solved for several particular cases in the Heisenberg picture, and the possibility of observing photon antibunching is investigated using the short-time approximation technique. It is shown that the photon antibunching in the pump field depends on the number of pump photons, the interaction time, and the coupling of the field between the modes. With the same amount of pump photons, we deduced that third-order photon antibunching is more nonclassical than second- and first-order photon antibunching. In this process, the effect of photon antibunching is not seen in the harmonic mode over pump mode. It is shown that photon antibunching is more noticeable with shorter interaction times as the depth of nonclassicality increases and the second-order correlation function decreases. The first-order Hamiltonian interaction, which stimulates both pump and harmonic fields, is demonstrated to be more nonclassical than the second-order Hamiltonian interaction. It is clear that the coherent state, or vacuum state, of a pump field with a nonzero harmonic field creates photon clusters because the pump field causes interaction, which leads to bunching effects. It is interpreted that the degree of photon antibunching is maximum in the regions where the second correlation function is minimum. Photon antibunching has been shown to be one of the quantum properties of light.
