Abstract
The conventional photon blockade is studied in a three-wave-mixing system. The analytic conditions for realizing the photon blockade are obtained by analyzing the eigenvalues of the system Hamiltonian, which is expanded by an effective single excited space for the high-frequency mode. The numerical results are calculated by solving the master equation in a truncated Fock space, which agrees well with the analytic conditions. Different from the other schemes of the conventional photon blockade, photon antibunching can be realized in the three modes of the three-wave-mixing system simultaneously due to the nature of the system.
