| Abstract: | Abstract In this paper, anticorrelated field states with a binomial distribution over orthogonal polarizations, interacting with a nonlinear birefringent medium, are discussed. The field states are the SU(2) coherent states, where the angular momentum operators are realized as bilinear products of the boson operators associated with the two polarizations. The system discussed here provides an optical realization of a nonlinear rotator. We study the quantum dynamics of the statistical properties of the field and the evolution of the degree of polarization. |
