Scattering of Squeezed Light by a Dielectric Slab

We develop a quantum theory for the scattering of squeezed coherent light by a dissipative dielectric slab. Using the Green-function quantization approach, we derive the transformation of the field quadratures and show how dispersion, absorption, and multiple reflections distort the incident squeezing. We find that the slab can selectively attenuate or amplify quadrature noise depending on the slab parameters and provide expressions for the output power spectra.

💡 Research Summary

The paper presents a comprehensive quantum‑theoretical treatment of how squeezed‑coherent light is scattered by a dissipative dielectric slab. Using the Green‑function quantization framework, the authors model a slab of thickness 2l with a complex, frequency‑dependent dielectric function ε(ω)=ε_r(ω)+iε_i(ω). The complex refractive index n(ω)=η(ω)+iκ(ω) satisfies n²(ω)=
