Temporal second-order coherence function for displaced-squeezed thermal states

Abstract

We calculate the quantum mechanical, temporal second-order coherence function for a single-mode, degenerate parametric amplifier for a system in the Gaussian state, viz., a displaced-squeezed thermal state. The calculation involves first the dynamical generation at time $t$ of the Gaussian state from an initial thermal state and subsequent measurements of two photons a time $\tau \ge 0$ apart. The generation of the Gaussian state by the parametric amplifier ensures that the temporal second-order coherence function depends only on $\tau$, via $\tau /t$, for given Gaussian state parameters, Gaussian state preparation time $t$, and average number $\bar{n}$ of thermal photons. It is interesting that the time evolution for displaced thermal states shows a power decay in $\tau /t$ rather than an exponential one as is the case for general, displaced-squeezed thermal states.
