Abstract

Squeezed states have been described in optics with the mathematics of quantum mechanics. Yet, electromagnetic fields of a single color obey the Helmholtz equation, of which the Schrödinger equation is but the paraxial (parabolic) approximation. We extend the ordinary squeezed states to solutions of the Helmholtz equation that contain them as their paraxial approximation. Third-order aberration expansion and asymptotic analyses are performed on these states.
