STOCHASTIC-MODEL OF NONCLASSICAL LIGHT-EMISSION FROM A MICROCAVITY

A sub-Poissonian distribution of photon numbers (photon-number squeezi ng) within a microcavity is theoretically shown to be possible using a realistic model of nonlinear photon dissipation. By deriving and solv ing a stochastic Schrodinger equation for a system with photons and at oms in a microcavity, we have obtained strong antibunching and a sub-P oissonian distribution of the number of emitted photons from the micro cavity. The relationship among the above three statistical quantities, which describe the nonclassical nature of the quantum radiation field , are also discussed.
