Photon number distribution of detuned squeezed states
Mordechay Y. Zahler, Y. Ben Aryeh · Physical Review A · 1991
A quantum-mechanical treatment is developed, by using the Lie Group methods, for the properties of the detuned degenerate, vacuum, and excited squeezed-states photon number distribution. For a vacuum squeezed state, the detuning decreases the average photon number without changing the semichaotic distribution. In addition, an oscillatory behavior of the photon pair probability as a function of the detuning parameter appears below threshold. For an excited squeezed state, the photon number distribution, including its oscillatory characteristic at resonance, is strongly affected by the detuning. In addition to a continuous relaxation of the oscillations toward a Poissonian-like shape, there is also a very sensitive movement of the oscillations' peaks, depending on a detuning produced phase.
