Abstract
Photon statistics and non-classical behaviour of light produced in the optical parametric process are studied in the approximation of small fluctuations around a stationary point. The depletion of the pump mode is included. An initial generalized superposition of a coherent state and noise as well as the influence of reservoir noise and internal losses are considered.Keywords
