Exciton-induced squeezed state of light in semiconductors
Nguyen Ba An · Physical review. B, Condensed matter · 1993
In this paper a mechanism for the generation of a squeezed state of light is theoretically presented. Due to coupling with excitons and via exciton-exciton interaction, a light beam propagating within a finite-size semiconductor sample is shown to evolve into a squeezed state. Based on an effective bosonic Hamiltonian, which is obtained from the original fermionic one, a detailed derivation of the photon quadrature variances is presented and dependences of the photon squeezing on both the extrinsic and intrinsic parameters are analyzed.
