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.iv, 93 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessQuantum opticsQuantum statisticssqueezingpolarizationRaman scatteringnon-classical excitationsmultipole radiationQC174.4 .M87 1999Quantum statistics.Scattering (Physics).Thesis
