Photon Statistics in Stimulated Raman Scattering of Squeezed Light

Abstract

Photon statistics of stimulated Raman scattering of squeezed light are considered including additive noise. The phonon system is assumed to be in chaotic or squeezed chaotic states. The influence of nonlinear dynamics is established on the initial non-classical features of light adopting quasi-distribution related to anti-normal ordering, photocount distribution, its factorial moments and principal squeezing parameter. It is shown that the initial non-classical effects are increased by the nonlinear dynamics provided that the Stokes mode is less amplified than the anti-Stokes mode is damped, whereas in the opposite case the non-classical effects are swiftly smoothed out. The frequency detuning can be optimized to have maximum non-classical effects, which can periodically return. However, above a certain bound the non-classical effects are missing with frequency detuning, and also with increasing phonon number, even if the phonon system is squeezed. Small initial squeezing can be increased by the nonlinear dynamics, whereas strong squeezing can only be diminished.
