Noncoherent four-photon parametric processes

Yu E D'yakov, Lubomir I. Pavlov, I. V. Tomov

An analysis is made of the excitation of a four-photon parametric process by a noncoherent Gaussian (noise) pump field. An allowance is made for the dispersive and dissipative properties of the nonlinear medium. It is shown that this process may have a fairly high efficiency in vapors of Cd, Hg, and Zn metal atoms if rare gas fluoride excimer laseres are used as pump sources.

Verifying model for statistical hypothesis in detection of noncoherent radiation

Vasile D. Babin, Simion Ersen, Adrian Moldovan +1 more

A mode of quantic detection for noncoherent optical radiation as noise limit is presented. Using the representation on coherent state of density matrix operators ((rho) ) and of detection operators ((pi) ), the detection probability (Qd), false alarm probability (Qo) and signal-noise ratio (S/Z), are estimated, as function of the number of freedom degrees of temporal oscillation modes (Mt) and of the spatial oscillation modes (Ms). A validation algorithm of statistical hypotheses, resulted from noncoherent optical field analysis, is made using Newman-Pearson criterion.

Optical interference with noncoherent states

Yoav Sagi, Ofer Firstenberg, Amnon Fisher +1 more

We examine a typical two-source optical interference apparatus consisting of two cavities, a beam splitter, and two detectors. We show that field-field interference occurs even when the cavities are not initially in coherent states but rather in other nonclassical states. However, we find that the visibility of the second-order interference, that is, the expectation values of the detectors' readings, changes from 100%, when the cavities are prepared in coherent states, to zero visibility when they are initially in single Fock states. We calculate the fourth-order interference, and for the latter case find that it corresponds to a case where the currents oscillate with 100% visibility, but with a random phase for every experiment. Finally, we suggest an experimental realization of the apparatus with nonclassical sources.
