The interference of the nonclassical light pulse with a coherent one and the sub-Poissonian statistics formation

Florentin Popescu

Published Jun 22, 2000• 0 citations

Abstract

Using the theoretical model of the optical beam-splitter, the interference of the self-phase modulated ultrashort light pulse (SPM-USP) with the coherent one is investigated. It is found that, the choice of the coefficient of transmission of the beam-splitter allows one to get the spectra of quadrature fluctuations with forms of interest to us. It is shown that the choice of the geometrical phase gives one the control of the position of the ellipse of squeezing in the quadrature space XY. The extended Mandel parameter is introduced and the photon statistics is scanned at all frequencies. It is established that the sub- and super-Poissonian statistics formation can be determined by the choice of the nonlinear phase addition and initial linear phase shift between pulses. It is also shown that the self-phase modulation (SPM) leads to the additional modulation of total photon number at the outputs of the beam-splitter.

Spatial overlap of nonclassical ultrashort light pulses and formation of polarization-squeezed light

Florentin Popescu

We investigate the spatial overlap of nonclassical ultrashort light pulses produced by self-phase modulation effect in electronic Kerr media and its relevance in the formation of polarization-squeezed states of light. The light polarization is treated in terms of four quantum Stokes parameters whose spectra of quantum fluctuations are investigated. We show that the frequency at which the suppression of quantum fluctuations of Stokes parameters is the greatest can be controlled by adjusting the linear phase difference between pulses. By varying the intensity of one pulse one can suppress effectively the quantum fluctuations of Stokes parameters. We study the overlap of nonclassical pulses inside of an anisotropic electronic Kerr medium and we show that the cross-phase modulation effect can be employed to control the polarization-squeezed state of light. Moreover, we establish that the change of the intensity or of the nonlinear phase shift per photon for one pulse controls effectively the squeezing of Stokes parameters. The spatial overlap of a coherent pulse field with an interference pulse produced by mixing two quadrature-squeezed pulses on a beam splitter is analyzed. It is found that squeezing is produced in three of the four Stokes parameters, with the squeezing in the first two being simultaneous.

Formation of ultrashort pulses with sub-Poissonian photon statistics

Florentin Popescu, Anatolii S Chirkin

A simple method for the production of ultrashort light pulses (USPs) with suppressed photon fluctuations is considered, which is based on self-phase modulation (SPM) of a USP in a nonlinear medium, say, an optical fibre and subsequent transmission of a pulse through a dispersive optical element.

Control of Squeezed Light Pulse Spectrum in the Kerr Medium with an Intertial Nonlinearity

A. S. Chirkin, Florentin Popescu

The consistent quantum theory of self-phase modulation ( SPM ) and cross-phase modulation ( XPM ) for ultrashort light pulses ( USPs ) in medium with electronic Kerr-nonlinearity are developed. The approach makes use of momentum operator of electrical field which takes account of the inertial behaviour of the nonlinearity. The spectrum of quantum fluctuations of squeezed-quadrature component as a function of response time of nonlinearity and values of nonlinear phase shifts due to the SPM and XPM effects, is investigated.

Polarization squeezing in perfectly overlapped quadrature-squeezed ultrashort light pulses

Florentin Popescu

We investigate the formation of the polarization-squeezed state of light in different schemes of perfect spatial overlap of quadrature-squeezed ultrashort light pulses produced by self-phase modulation effect in electronic Kerr media. The light polarization is treated in terms of four Stokes operators whose spectra of quantum fluctuations are investigated for each configuration of interest. We establish that the frequency at which the suppression of quantum fluctuations of Stokes operators is the greatest can be controlled by adjusting the linear phase difference between initial coherent pulses. The increase of the intensity of one pulse can squeeze efficiently the quantum fluctuations of Stokes operators. We study the spatial overlap of quadrature-squeezed pulses produced in an anisotropic electronic Kerr medium and show that the cross-phase modulation which occurs in addition to the self-phase one can be employed to control the fluctuation spectra of Stokes operators. The change of the nonlinear phase shift per photon for one pulse controls effectively the polarization squeezing. The spatial overlap of a coherent pulse with an interference one, produced by mixing two quadrature-squeezed pulses on a beam splitter, is analysed. It is found that squeezing is produced in three of the four Stokes operators, with the squeezing in the first two being simultaneous.

Quantum analysis of a beam splitter with second-order nonlinearity and generation of nonclassical light

Hari Prakash, Devendra Kumar Mishra

A quantum mechanical model of a beam splitter having second-order nonlinearity is proposed and shows that nonclassical features such as squeezing and sub-Poissonian photon statistics of optical fields can be generated in output second-harmonic mode when we mix coherent light beams via such a nonlinear beam splitter.
