Abstract
We study about the generation of Hong and Mandel fourth-order squeezing by the beam splitter with the third-order nonlinearity. We find that when we mix coherent light beam (a state which lies at the boundary of classical to non-classical region), we find situations where the output beam exhibit Hong and Mandel fourth-order squeezing.
