Abstract

We present an exact quantum treatment of the generalized model of a degenerate parametric oscillator, in which we allow for self-phase modulation of the signal mode. Using the steady-state solution of the Fokker-Planck equation in the complex P-representation we obtain an exact analytical result for the Wigner quasiprobability distribution function. The obtained Wigner function allows us to give an explicit phase-space description of the nonlinear system under consideration, including the critical transition behavior in the monostable and bistable (with respect to the signal mode intensity versus the pump field intensity) operation regimes and in the threshold region. The competitive effects influenced by the self-phase modulation and the phase-space tristability are analyzed. Nonclassical effects of quadrature squeezing and quantum superposition are discussed as well.
