Abstract: | The
fourth-order quantum interference of squeezed fields generated by two independent optical
parametric oscillators(OPOs) is discussed based on the semi-classical theory. It is shown
that at the oscillation threshold of OPOs the squeezing of two output fields is the
highest but the fringe visibility of fourth-order interference is the lowest(33.3%). When
the pump power is away from the threshold, the squeezing decreases while the correlation
between them increases. |
