摘要
We display the results of the numerical simulations of a set of Langevin equations, which describe the dynamics of a degenerate optical parametric oscillator in the Wigner representation. The scan of the threshold region shows the gradual transformation of a quantum image into a classical roll pattern. An experiment on parametric down-conversion in lithium triborate shows strikingly similar results in both the near and the far field, displaying qualitatively the classical features of quantum images.
