| contents | We show how the properties of photon emission to a continuous field from a parametric oscillator relate to the behavior of the complex eigenfrequencies of the oscillator. The parametric oscillator has complex eigenfrequencies due to non-Hermiticity with two origins: parametric amplification and dissipation resulting from the loss of photons to a continuous field. In situations where the oscillator is close to the parametric resonance, and the coupling to the driving field is strong enough for a complex eigenfrequency to lie in the upper half of the first Riemann sheet, the number of photons of the parametric oscillator and the continuous field increases exponentially. The parametric amplification is counteracted by dissipation due to the coupling of the parametric oscillator to the continuous field, and if the dissipation is sufficiently strong relative to the amplification, the exponential growth is suppressed. The suppression occurs when the complex eigenfrequency responsible for the exponential growth moves into the second Riemann sheet analytically continued beyond the branch cut of the Green function on the real axis along the continuum of frequency. As a result, there appears a stationary photon emission, where creation of photons balance with dissipation due to emission of the photons to the continuous field. Then there is a constant flux of photons, with the number of photons in the continuous field increasing in proportion to time, while the number of photons in the parametric oscillator remains constant. |
