In this chapter we will analyse some simple processes in nonlinear optics where analytic solutions are possible. This will serve to illustrate how the formalism developed in the preceding chapters may be applied. In addition, the simple examples chosen illustrate many of the quantum phenomena studied in more complex systems in later chapters. This chapter will serve as an introduction to how quantum phenomena such as photon antibunching, squeezing and violation of certain classical inequalities may occur in nonlinear optical systems. In addition, we include an introduction to quantum limits to amplification.

摘要

In this chapter we will analyse some simple processes in nonlinear optics where analytic solutions are possible. This will serve to illustrate how the formalism developed in the preceding chapters may be applied. In addition, the simple examples chosen illustrate many of the quantum phenomena studied in more complex systems in later chapters. This chapter will serve as an introduction to how quantum phenomena such as photon antibunching, squeezing and violation of certain classical inequalities may occur in nonlinear optical systems. In addition, we include an introduction to quantum limits to amplification.
