Two-Mode Formalism for Two-Photon Optics

Abstract

In this paper we discuss a new, two-mode formalism1 for analyzing two-photon optical devices (e.g., parametric amplifiers and four-wave mixers)–devices whose output light is generated by the simultaneous emission of two photons into two of the output modes. Such devices can produce in principle squeezed-state light, in which the two modes of each pair of output modes have correlated noise. Two-photon devices are to be contrasted with one-photon devices, such as the laser, whose output light is generated by the emission of independent single photons.
