I How can I model squeezed states in 3D optical modelling software?

Click For Summary
Modeling squeezed light and its evolution in 3D optical software like OptiFDTD or ZEMAX is challenging due to limitations in simulating such states. The user aims to simulate an Optical Parametric Amplifier to generate squeezed states but struggles to find suitable tools. They discovered RP propulse, which may assist in designing Optical Parametric Oscillators, but are uncertain about its capabilities in modeling the evolution of squeezed light and phase properties in 3D. Additionally, access to the software is a barrier since the user is pursuing this as a hobby without organizational support. Suggestions for alternative programs or methods to achieve this simulation are sought.

Is there any way to model squeezed states of light in optical modelling software such as OptiFDTD or ZEMAX?
I would like to model squeezed light and its evolution (such as when passing through lenses after being generated) using optics software such as OptiFDTD or ZEMAX. However, I don’t see any way to make such states…my plan was to simulate an Optical Parametric Amplifier to generate these states but I can’t seem to find any way to do that. Is there any way to generate squeezed states of light in a 3D optical modelling software (that allows you to view properties such as phase after some evolution)?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I found a software that models (or at least helps design) Optical Parametric Oscillators called RP propulse: https://www.rp-photonics.com/rp_propulse.html. However, I am unsure if this software models the evolution of squeezed light or properties such as phase in 3D.Moreover, I can't seem to get my hands on the software as I am doing this recreationally and am not working on this with any organization. Is there some similar program I could use for this? Any help would be appareciated.
 

Thread 'The Power of QM and QFT'

We often see discussions about what QM and QFT mean, but hardly anything on just how fundamental they are to much of physics. To rectify that, see the following; https://www.cambridge.org/engage/api-gateway/coe/assets/orp/resource/item/66a6a6005101a2ffa86cdd48/original/a-derivation-of-maxwell-s-equations-from-first-principles.pdf 'Somewhat magically, if one then applies local gauge invariance to the Dirac Lagrangian, a field appears, and from this field it is possible to derive Maxwell’s...
