Abstract
In this paper, the unconventional photon blockade is studied in a three-wave-mixing system with a non-degenerate parametric amplification. A method of only retaining the Fock-state basis in the interference path is used to calculate the optimal analytic conditions of unconventional photon blockade. The numerical results agree well with the analytic conditions, which verifies the validity of this method. Our calculations indicate that the strong photon antibunching can be obtained in the high-frequency mode of the three-wave mixing. And the influence of system parameters on photon blockade is also discussed.
