Quasidistribution of phases in Raman process with weak and strong pumps

Nonclassicality is quantified using a quasidistribution of phases for the Raman process under both weak and strong pump conditions. In the former case, the solution is applicable to both resonant and off-resonant Raman processes, while strong classical pump is assumed at resonance. Under weak pump conditions (i.e. in a complete quantum treatment), the phase difference of phases described by single nonclassical modes is required to be filtered to describe a regular distribution function, which is not the case with strong pump. Compound Stokes-phonon mode shows nonclassical features of phases in both weak and strong pumping, which effect is similar to that for compound pump-phonon (Stokes-anti-Stokes) mode with weak (strong) pump. While anti-Stokes-phonon mode is observed to be classical and coherence conserving in strong pump case, pump-Stokes mode shows similar behavior in a special case in quantum treatment.
