We illustrate the spatial quantum features that emerge in a degenerate optical parametric oscillator below threshold, where the signal field is purely generated by quantum fluctuations. We analyse the behaviour of the spatial correlation function of a generic quadrature component of the signal field by means of numerical simulations. The correlation length diverges when the classical threshold for signal generation is approached.

Abstract
We illustrate the spatial quantum features that emerge in a degenerate optical parametric oscillator below threshold, where the signal field is purely generated by quantum fluctuations. We analyse the behaviour of the spatial correlation function of a generic quadrature component of the signal field by means of numerical simulations. The correlation length diverges when the classical threshold for signal generation is approached.File in questo prodotto:
