Spatiotemproal effects on squeezing measurements
arXiv:2009.08244 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.103.013701
Abstract
The role of the spatiotemporal degrees of freedom in the preparation and observation of squeezed photonic states, produced by parametric down-conversion, is investigated. The analysis is done with the aid of a functional approach under the semi-classical approximation and the thin-crystal approximation. It is found that the squeezed state loses its minimum uncertainty property as the efficiency of down-conversion is increased, in a way that depends on the conditions of the homodyne measurements with which the amount of squeezing is determined.
