Quantum optics of lossy beam splitters and of linear amplifiers

Abstract

The familiar input-output relations for an optical beam splitter are generalised to allow for linear absorption by the medium forming the mirror. These generalised relations have the form [1,2] where the t(ω) and r(ω) are the frequency-dependent transmission and reflection coefficients and the F-operators are Langevin noise terms associated with the losses. Beam-splitter losses generally affect the noise levels detectable in experiments involving nonclassical light.
