Abstract

Theoretical analysis of squeezed light generation by phasematched SHG, applicable generally to various SHG configurations and appropriate for mutual comparison, is presented. The analysis is based on analytical solutions of the linearized differential equations in space coordinate and the input-output equations for the amplitude fluctuations, and calculations of squeezing spectra using the covariance matrixes. Formulations describing the squeezing characteristics in terms of the device parameters are derived. Typical numerical results are also given to illustrate the features of traveling-wave SHG, singly-resonant SHG, and doubly-resonant SHG configurations including cases where propagation losses are involved. The results, which are consistent with those in previous work, provide many insights for design and application of SHG devices for squeezed-light generation
