Linearity of optical amplifiers and the Tomonaga approximation

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Linear optical amplifiers are described quantum mechanically by a linear differential equation with Langevin operator noise sources. Even if the gain medium is composed of fermions, in the limit when the amplifier is a linear amplifier, the noise sources must have bosonlike commutation relations. I show in detail how the Tomonaga approximation produces the bosonic commutators of the noise sources.
