Generation of hidden optical-polarization: Squeezing and non-classicality

Abstract: A monochromatic bi-modal coherent light, endowed with orthogonally polarized photons propagating collinearly, is allowed to impinge as pump field in degenerate parametric amplification. Generation of Hidden Optical-Polarized State is seen by non-zero values of Index of Hidden Optical-Polarization. Squeezing in Hidden Optical-Polarized State is demonstrated by recognizing a Squeezing Function of which departure from unit-value ensures the squeezing. Furthermore, the non-classical feature is witnessed by the ‘Degree of Hidden Optical-Polarization’ having value ‘greater than unity’. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
