✦ Synopsis
A theoretical analysis based on the fluctuation propagation matrix method proposed by the authors has been performed for systematic study of the generation and conversion of squeezed light in various traveling-wave secondorder nonlinear-optic devices. The important insights obtained are: (1) Second-harmonic generation (SHG) allows generation of a highly squeezed fundamental wave, and a highly amplitude squeezed harmonic wave can be obtained by pumping with amplitude-squeezed fundamental wave. (2) Degenerate optical parametric (de)amplification (DOPA and DOPDA) allow generation of squeezed vacuum states and substantial amplitude/phase squeezing of the signal wave. (3) Sum-and difference-frequency generation (SFG and DFG) using a strong pump wave allow wavelength conversion of squeezed light. The results are given in graphic form using normalized parameters which can readily be correlated to device parameters.
