Quantum theory of multiwave mixing: Squeezed-vacuum model
Sunghyuck An, Murray Sargent
The present paper combines a Langevin quantum-regression method with a density-operator approach to derive the master equation for the quantum theory of multiwave mixing in a very efficient way. The approach is quite general and is particularly valuable for analyzing complicated media such as semiconductors. It is used in the present paper to derive the quantum multiwave-mixing equations in a squeezed vacuum. We find improved formulas for resonance fluorescence in a squeezed vacuum as well as the squeezing coefficients in a squeezed vacuum. Comparing squeezing spectra in squeezed and ordinary vacua, we find significantly enhanced squeezing for the appropriate pump-vacuum relative phase.
