摘要
In a recent paper [I. I. Arkhipov, Phys. Rev. A 98, 021803 (2018)], it was shown that one can completely identify the nonclassicality of single- and two-mode Gaussian states by means of certain nonclassicality witnesses which are based on intensity moments up to the third order of optical fields, provided that an appropriate coherent displacement is applied to a given Gaussian state. Here, we utilize a mathematical equivalence between the description of the coherent displaced Gaussian states generated in the spontaneous parametric processes and the Gaussian states generated in the corresponding stimulated parametric processes. Resorting to that equivalence, we study and compare the power of those nonclassicality witnesses in the detection of the nonclassicality of the two-mode Gaussian states generated in both the spontaneous and stimulated second subharmonic and downconversion processes and which are subsequently subject to a beam splitter. We demonstrate that by means of an appropriate induced stimulated emission, one can completely identify the nonclassicality of the considered Gaussian states in comparison to the case of the spontaneous emission. This is important from the experimental point of view, as the stimulated emission can be easily implemented in running optical experiments, and such method can exploit just simple linear detectors.
