Quantum theory of multiwave mixing. VI. Effects of quantum noise on modulation spectroscopy

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Treating the weak-sideband fields quantum mechanically, we study the effects of quantum noise on amplitude-modulation and frequency-modulation spectroscopy of two-level media. Our analysis demonstrates that quantum noise affects not only the intensities of the modulation sidebands but also their relative phase, which leads in particular to a quantum limit for frequency-modulation spectroscopy.
