摘要
The distortion of a spontaneous down-conversion process caused by an auxiliary mode coupled to the idler wave is analyzed. In general, a strong coupling with the auxiliary mode tends to hinder the down-conversion in a nonlinear medium. On the other hand, provided that the evolution is disturbed by the presence of a phase mismatch, the coupling may increase the speed of down-conversion. These effects are interpreted as being manifestations of quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects, respectively, and they are understood by using the dressed mode picture of the device. The possibility of using the coupling as a nontrivial phase-matching technique is pointed out.
