Squeezed states in harmonic generation of a laser beam
Abstract
Harmonic generation processes are shown to minimize quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field in the fundamental as well as in every generated beam. For the harmonics, squeezing is additionally dependent on the polarisation properties of both beams.
