Physical Review A, 45, 3216-3222 (1992).
The dynamical properties of an optical parametric amplifier with an added fourth-order (Kerr-effect term) nonlinearity are studied by means of a computer simulation of a semiclassical nonlinear Langevin formulation. The transient statistics above threshold are analyzed in detail, and the relevance of the present results for the production of squeezed light in traveling-wave devices is finally discussed.
