Homodyne detection for the enhancement of antibunching
Reeta Vyas, Changxin Wang, Surendra Singh · Physical Review A · 1996
We propose a scheme based on homodyne detection for enhancing antibunching in second-harmonic generation and multiatom optical bistability. We show that depending on the reflectivity of the beam splitter, relative field strengths, and relative phase it is possible to achieve perfect antibunching in the superposed field. We also discuss other nonclassical effects exhibited by the superposed field and present curves to illustrate the behavior. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
