We study the properties of wave-packet states with vortex structure. In particular we present the characteristics of a two-mode radiation field characterized by a configuration-space wave function v ϭ(xϪiy) m e Ϫ(x 2 ϩy 2)/2 2. We show the generation of such states by the interaction of ⌳ systems with squeezed radiation in a two-mode cavity. The two modes are correlated due to entanglement, which also produces the mixed state of each mode even though the state of the two-mode field is a pure state.
We report the results of a study carried out to investigate the influence of the refractive index and size parameter of a scatterer on the depolarization of linearly and circularly polarized light in a turbid medium. The results show that for a given refractive index of the surrounding medium, the influence of the refractive index of the scatterer on the depolarization of both linearly and circularly polarized light is rather weak for samples with smaller-sized scatterers (Rayleigh scatterers, radius a< or =lambda , g > or =0.7), linearly polarized light was observed to depolarize much faster than circularly polarized light when the refractive index of scatterers was large (n=1.59) but no appreciable difference in depolarization of linearly and circularly polarized light was observed when the refractive index of scatterers had a lower value (n=1.37) . Further, for scattering samples having Mie scatterers, for comparable values of tau and g , depolarization of polarized light was much higher for samples with scatterers of lower refractive index.
We calculate the Wigner quasiprobability distribution function of quantum elliptical vortex in elliptical beam (EEV), produced by coupling squeezed coherent states of two modes. The coupling between the two modes is performed by using beam splitter (BS) or a dual channel directional coupler (DCDC). The quantum interference due to the coupling between the two modes promises the generation of controlled entanglement for quantum computation and quantum tomography.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
