Abstract
We examine the nonclassical effects arising in waveguide modes of a no nlinear coupler operating via degenerate down-conversion at different dynamical regimes. Codirectional and contradirectional geometries are investigated and it is shown that the contrapropagating geometry provi des better efficiency for squeezing of vacuum fluctuations in single m odes, whereas the copropagating geometry results in more efficient squ eezing in compound modes.
