Aspects of Two-photon Absorption of Squeezed Light: the CW limit
arXiv:2205.07485 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.106.023115
Abstract
We present a theoretical analysis of two-photon absorption of classical and squeezed light valid when one-photon absorption to an intermediate state is either resonant or far-detuned from resonance, and in both the low and high intensity regimes. In this paper we concentrate on continuous-wave excitation, although the approach we develop is more general. We calculate the energy removed from an incident field for typical experimental parameters and consider the limiting cases when the photon pairs are narrowband or broadband compared to the molecular linewidths. We find an enhancement of the two-photon absorption due to resonant contributions from the large squeezed light bandwidth and due to photon bunching in the low intensity regime. However, in both cases, for the parameters we choose, the one-photon absorption is the dominant process in the region of parameter space where a large enhancement of the two-photon absorption is possible.
