Abstract
An important goal for the future is the development of all-optical control and communication systems in which one light beam is controlled by another light beam. These two-mode type of interactions can be treated by two coupled harmonic oscillators interacting through coupling.1 The classical solution of the coupled harmonic oscillator shows the transfer of energy between the two oscillators. In this paper we calculate the transfer of the nonclassical properties (squeezing, antibunching2) from one mode to the other through the interaction (coupling) between two radiation fields. For experimental purposes, we consider a dual channel coupler.3 It consists of a pair of optical waveguides that run in sufficiently close proximity, for a certain distance, so that coherent coupling takes place between them.
