Homodyne Photocurrent, Symmetries in Photon Mixing and Number State Synthesis
Matteo G. A. Paris · International Journal of Modern Physics B · 1997
Lossless beam splitter has been studied by the exact diagonalization of the homodyne photocurrent. The probability of totally symmetric and totally antisymmetric output from a balanced beam splitter fed by arbitrary number states has been evaluated. Efficiency of photon mixing to synthesize highly excited number states has been also discussed.
