Abstract
A Gaussian-wave theory is developed to analyse the sub-Poissonian ligh t generated by means of travelling-wave optical parametric deamplifica tion. The Gaussian spatial profile of the pump beam limits the observa ble Fano factor to -3 dB (0.5). Gain-induced diffraction of the signal beam and classical fluctuations of the pump-signal relative phase cau se further degradation. The theory is compared with our recent experim ental results, and excellent agreement is found after the effect of no n-ideal photodetection efficiency is taken into account.
