TL;DR

This paper models how the finite spectral bandwidth of the pump wave affects entanglement in a nondegenerate parametric amplifier, showing that increased bandwidth reduces squeezing and entanglement.

Contribution

It introduces a simple model incorporating spectral bandwidth effects and provides exact solutions demonstrating its impact on entanglement and squeezing.

Findings

Degree of squeezing decreases with spectral bandwidth

Photon number produced diminishes as bandwidth increases

Entanglement weakens with broader spectral bandwidth

Abstract

We propose a simple model for the nondegenerate parametric inter- action that takes into account the finite spectral bandwidth of the pump wave. The Heisenberg equations of motion are solved exactly and we show that the bosonic operators obey to a generalized Bogoliubov transforma- tion, where the degree of squeezing depends on the spectral bandwidth. The average number of photons produced in the interaction, the degree of squeezing as well as the degree of entanglement are computed showing that they decrease with increasing spectral bandwidth.
