Abstract
Studies on some systems in which light interacts with matter are performed from
quantum statistical point of view. As a result of these studies a novel effect
which can be utilized for detecting squeezed phonons is predicted; detection of
non-classical states of Bose type excitations in solids and their classification by
Raman correlation spectroscopy are discussed; a new approach to the polarization
of light is developed.
