Sum Squeezing of the Field Amplitude in Frequency Upconversion Process

Abstract EN

Sum squeezing of the field amplitude is studied in the nondegenerate and degenerate frequency upconversion process under the short interaction time.

It is shown that sum squeezing can be converted into normal squeezing via sum-frequency generation in the nondegenerate frequency upconversion process, while the amplitude-squared squeezing of the fundamental mode directly changed into the squeezing of the harmonic in the degenerate frequency upconversion process.

All reachable conditions of uncorrelated modes for obtaining a sum squeezing in two modes and its dependence on the squeezing of individual field modes are investigated.

It is found that the squeezed states are associated with large number of pump photons.

It is also confirmed that the higher-order squeezing (sum squeezing) is directly associated with coupling of the field and interaction time.
