Photon-bunching, photon-antibunching and the nonclassical photon statistics of coherent light coupled to a driven harmonic oscillator of time dependent mass and frequency

The analytical solution of the quantum driven harmonic oscillator of time dependent mass and frequency (DHTDMF) is exploited to obtain the photon-bunching, photon-antibunching and the nonclassical photon statistics of the input coherent light coupled to the oscillator. We observe that the model Hamiltonian of a DHTDMF coincides with those of the model Hamiltonian of a two-photon coherent state due to H.P. Yuen Phys. Rev. A 13 (1976) 226]. To substantiate our analytical results, we give a special case corresponding to a damped harmonic oscillator subject to an external periodic force. The quantum statistical properties of the radiation field are discussed for under-, over-, and for critically-damped situations of the oscillator coupled to an initial coherent field. The off-resonance and the near- or on-resonance of the oscillator with respect to the frequency of the external force are discussed. In the determination of quantum statistical properties of the radiation field, we observe that the effects of the driving force are important only when the frequency of the oscillator is in near- or in on-resonance condition with that of the frequency of the external periodic force.
