Quantum Noise Properties of Parametric Processes II: Specific Applications
27 June 2005
In a recent report (ITD-05-46049D), formulas were derived for the field-quadrature and photon-number means and variances of optical modes that participate in phase- insensitive and phase-sensitive parametric processes. In this report the consequences of these formulas are described for frequency conversion, amplification, monitoring, and transmission through sequences of attenuators and amplifiers.
