ON THE QUANTUM STATISTICS OF MODE MIXING IN NONLINEAR MEDIA.
Abstract
This is a semiclassical quantum formulation of mode mixing in nonlinear media employing Glauber's P-representation of the statistical density operator. Coupled mode equations are derived from Maxwell's equations and Hamiltonians are found which generate the coupled mode equations through Hamilton's equations of motion. The state of the system is determined by postulating that a maximum entropy state will be approached if all controlled sources are turned off. An expression representing the statistics of frequency conversion is derived and the noise in an up converter employing a quantum counter is determined. (Author)
