Quantum Analysis of Sub-Harmonic Generation with Two Mode Coherent Light

Introduction

Quantum optics plays a crucial role in understanding the behavior of light at a microscopic level. One significant phenomenon in this field is sub-harmonic generation, a process where a high-energy photon splits into two lowerenergy correlated photons within a nonlinear medium. A recent study by Alemayehu Getahun and Habtamu Dagnew explores the quantum statistical and squeezing properties of light produced by sub-harmonic generation when driven by a two-mode coherent light state.

Key Findings from the Study

The study analyzes the system using an interaction Hamiltonian and derives the master equation governing the behavior of light. The primary findings include:

  • Quadrature Squeezing: The system exhibits squeezing in the plus quadrature with a maximum squeezing of 87%.
  • Photon Statistics: The photon statistics of the system follow a sub-Poissonian distribution, meaning the variance in photon number is lower than the mean photon number.
  • Effect of Cavity Damping Constant (κ): As κ increases, both the mean and variance of the photon number decrease.
