Phys. Rev. A 77, 023813 (2008) [8 pages]Bright bichromatic entanglement and quantum dynamics of sum frequency generationReceived 29 November 2007; published 12 February 2008 We investigate the quantum properties of the well-known process of sum frequency generation, showing that it is potentially a very useful source of nonclassical states of the electromagnetic field, some of which are not possible with the more common techniques. We show that it can produce quadrature squeezed light, bright bichromatic entangled states, and symmetric and asymmetric demonstrations of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox. We also show that the semiclassical equations totally fail to describe the mean-field dynamics when the cavity is strongly pumped. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
