SQUEEZING EFFECTS IN THE SUM AND DIFFERENCE OF THE FIELD AMPLITUDE IN THE RAMAN PROCESS

Abstract

Under the short-time approximation, Giri and Gupta1 investigated the sum and difference squeezing of the field amplitude in the Raman process. The relations between the normal squeezing and the sum and difference squeezing of the field amplitude are explicitly exhibited. They argued that the sum and difference squeezing of the field amplitude are essentially the squeezing in higher-order sense. Upon verification of the results of Giri and Gupta, we observe that the entire calculations and the conclusions thereof are misleading and baseless. To substantiate our claim, we give the correct expressions for the useful variances. Interestingly, there is no possibility of getting normal squeezing, sum squeezing and difference squeezing of the input state prepared in coherent state.
