Amplitudekth-power squeezing ofk-photon coherent states
V. Buek, Igor Jex · Physical Review A · 1990
We have defined a new nonclassical effect: amplitude kth-power squeezing. We have analyzed the squeezing properties of the k-photon coherent states as defined by D'Ariano, Rasetti, and Vadacchio [Phys. Rev. D 32, 1034 (1985)]; Katriel et al. [Phys. Rev. D 34, 332 (1986)]; and D'Ariano and Sterpi [Phys. Rev. A 39, 1810 (1989)]. It has been shown that, due to the interaction with the nonlinear nonabsorbing medium modeled as an anharmonic oscillator, these states become amplitude kth power squeezed.
