Abstract

A novel symbolic-numeric co-simulation approach is employed to derive a minimal set of expectation value equations for bosonic mode operators, which are then solved numerically. The Hamiltonian in this model incorporates free field propagation, nonlinear wave-mixing, coherent gain, and incoherent loss mechanisms. Although nonclassical light features have been observed in passive microcavity resonators, the coherent gain and waveguide losses in a quantum cascade laser (QCL) counteract the generation of entanglement between comb modes despite the QCL’s significant Kerr-like nonlinearity. Utilizing the developed symbolic-numerical co-simulation framework, we investigate higher-order quantum correlations among QCL frequency comb modes, potentially revealing nonclassical features in the emitted optical field. Our symbolic-numeric co-simulation approach is validated against analytic solutions available for a reminiscent problem, given by four-wave mixing interactions in Josephson traveling-wave parametric amplifiers.
