The Squeezing Effect of Three-Mode Operator as an Extension from Two-Mode Squeezing Operator

We theoretically study the squeezing effect in a 3-wave mixing process, generated by the operator S₃ o expm(a₁a₂-a₁^fa₂^f)+n(a₁a₃-a₁^fa₃^f)]S_{3}\equiv \exp\mu(a_{1}a_{2}-a_{1}^{\dagger}a_{2}^{\dagger})+\nu(a_{1}a_{3}-a_{1}^{\dagger}a_{3}^{\dagger})]. The corresponding 3-mode squeezed vacuum state in Fock space and its uncertainty relation are presented. It turns out that S ₃ may exhibit enhanced squeezing. By virtue of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators, we also give the S ₃’s normally ordered expansion. Finally, we calculate the Wigner function of 3-mode squeezed vacuum state by using the Weyl ordering invariance under similar transformations.
