Fourth-Order Sub-Poissonian Light Generation by the Beam Splitter with Second-Order Nonlinearity

Abstract

Prakash and Mishra (J Opt Soc Am B 33(7):1552, 2016) proposed the quantum model of a ‘beam splitter with second-order nonlinearity (BSSN)’ and showed that non-classical features such as squeezing and ‘sub-Poissonian photon statistics’ of optical fields can be generated by injecting coherent light beams at their inputs. We will explore the possibilities of generation of higher-order sub-Poissonian light by using BSSN in the present paper. © 2019, The National Academy of Sciences, India.
