New 3-mode squeezing operator and squeezed vacuum state in 3-wave mixing
arXiv:1009.2548
Abstract
In a 3-wave mixing process occurring in some nonlinear optical medium when }$a_{1}^{\dagger}${\small mode interacts with both }$a_{2}^{\dagger}% ${\small mode and }$a_{3}^{\dagger}${\small mode, we theoretically study the squeezing effect generated by the operator }$S_{3}\equiv \exp[μ(a_{1}% a_{2}-a_{1}^{\dagger}a_{2}^{\dagger})+ν(a_{1}a_{3}-a_{1}^{\dagger}% a_{3}^{\dagger})]${\small . The new 3-mode squeezed vacuum state in Fock space is derived, and the uncertainty relation for it is demonstrated, It turns out that }$S_{3}${\small may exhibit enhanced squeezing. By virtue of the technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators, we also derive }$S_{3}${\small 's normally ordered expansion. The Wigner function of new 3-mode squeezed vacuum state is calculated by using the Weyl ordering invariance under similar transformations.
