Abstract
The quantum fluctuations in a nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator are calculated without the standard linearization assumption. Analytical results are obtained with the help of a mean-field approximation, which is exact in the limit of a fast decaying subharmonic mode. This approach is equivalent to a linearization around a self-consistently determined pump field amplitude that takes into account fluctuations of the subharmonic mode. The range of validity of the mean-field approximation is analyzed, and the influence of the system size on field amplitudes and squeezing is discussed.
