Abstract
We investigate the dynamics of a two-mode stimulated Raman scattering model including propagation and the quantum correlations that develop between the Stokes and anti-Stokes fields. For example, under certain conditions two-mode squeezed states can result. We report results for quadrature squeezing and sum squeezing. Quadrature squeezing only occurs when the anti-Stokes coupling constant is larger than the Stokes coupling constant. The amount of squeezing increases as the damping of the material polarization is increased. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
