Journal of Russian Laser Research Aims and scope

Abstract

The quantum problem of the two polarization modes of coherent light propagating through an isotropic gyrotropic medium with cubic nonlinearity is solved. The possibility of producing a polarization-squeezed state in such a medium is shown. The efficiency of suppression of Stokes parameter fluctuation as a function of the characteristics of the medium is investigated.
