Abstract

ABSTARCTWe study higher-order sub-Poissonian photon statistics of the output field of Mach-Zehnder interferometer initially in coherent state interacting with a non-absorbing non-linear Kerr medium placed into one arm of the interferometer.The interaction of optical field with Kerr medium has been modelled as an anharmonic oscillator, described by well-known interaction Hamiltonian, 2

Interaction of squeezed light with a Kerr medium

Arup Banerjee

The author considers interaction of squeezed light with a non-linear Kerr medium modelled as an anharmonic oscillator. Evolution of quantum fluctuations in the field amplitude and the first-order coherence function have been studied for both the sub-Poissonian and super-Poissonian statistics. Further, the author has also investigated the effect of the squeezing parameter of the initial state. The results for the first-order coherence function are obtained analytically.

Higher-Order Sub-Poissonian statistics in interaction of two two-level atoms with a single mode coherent radiation

Rakesh Kumar

In the present paper we study higher-order sub-Poissonian photon statistics in interaction of a single mode radiation initially in the coherent state Ŧα〉 with an assembly of two excited two-level atoms using the Hamiltonian, H=ω(a+a+Sz)+g(aS++a+S.), in the natural system of units. Here, α=|α|eiθα, a is the annihilation operator for radiation, Sz and S± are the collective Dicke operators, g is the coupling constant, ω is the energy of the photons and the energy difference between the two atomic levels. We solve it exactly and conclude that higher-order sub-Poissonian photon statistics can be obtained for an arbitrary order by choosing suitably the square root of mean photon number |α| of the coherent radiation and coupling time gt. Variations of higher-order sub-Poissonian photon statistics with parameters |α| and gt have also been discussed.

SQUEEZING AND OTHER NON-CLASSICAL FEATURES IN k-PHOTON ANHARMONIC OSCILLATOR IN BINOMIAL AND NEGATIVE BINOMIAL STATES OF THE FIELD

Amitabh Joshi, S. V. Lawande

A systematic study of squeezing obtained from k-photon anharmonic oscillator (with interaction hamiltonian of the form (a†)kak, k ≥ 2) interacting with light whose statistics can be varied from sub-Poissonian to poissonian via binomial state of field and super-Poissonian to poissonian via negative binomial state of field is presented. We predict that for all values of k there is a tendency increase in squeezing with increased sub-Poissonian character of the field while the reverse is true with super-Poissonian field. We also present non-classical behavior of the first order coherence function explicitly for k = 2 case (i.e., for two-photon anharmonic oscillator model used for a Kerr-like medium) with variation in the statistics of the input light.

Higher-order sub-Poissonian photon statistics in terms of factorial moments

Daniel B. Erenso, Reeta Vyas, Surendra Singh

We introduce the concept of higher-order super-Poissonian and sub-Poissonian statistics and show that higher-order sub-Poissonian statistics is a signature of a nonclassical field. Fields generated in intracavity second-harmonic generation and single-atom resonance fluorescence are shown to exhibit higher-order sub-Poissonian statistics.

Macroscopic superposition states of light via two-photon resonant interaction of atoms with cavity field

Vladimír Bužek

Recently considerable attention has been devoted to description of macroscopic superpositions of coherent states of lightl. This interest in part arises due to the fact that quantum interference be- tween component states leads to various nonclassical effects such as quadrature squeezing, higher order squeezing, sub-Poissonian photon statistics and oscillations in the photon number distribution.

Sub-Poissonian photon statistics of light in interaction of two-level atoms in superposed states with a single mode superposed coherent radiation

Rakesh Kumar Rai, Hari Prakash

We study sub-Poissonian photon statistics of light in interaction of a single mode radiation, initially either in a coherent state or in a superposed coherent state with an assembly of two-level atoms using the Hamiltonian, H = ω(a+a + Sz) + g(aS+ + a+ S–) in natural units, where a+ and a are creation and annihilation operators, Sz, S ± are the collective Dicke operators, g is the coupling constant, and ω is the energy of the photons and also the separation between the two atomic levels. We study the cases of (i) a single two-level and (ii) of two two-level atoms interacting with a single mode coherent or superposed coherent radiation. We find that for large coupling time gt, Fano factor shows collapses and revival phenomena, and that the variation is large for small mean number of photons. We also find that in the case of two two-level atoms, photon statistics shows larger sub-Poissonian than the case of a single two-level atom, and that there is no definite relationship between squeezing and sub-Poissonian photon statistics of light.
