Thus, the electron shell plays the role of a kind of resonator for the virtual photon emitted by the nucleus. At the same time, it “breathes,” periodically decreasing and increasing in size. Such energy oscillations between the doublet of nuclear levels and the electron shell are a consequence of the relatively large interaction energy of the electron and nuclear currents.

General expressions have been obtained for the second and fourth moments of the fields in schemes with losses of idler photons generated under spatial phase matching conditions at various angles to the pump propagation direction. It has been shown that the effects of leakage of idler photons through the side with increasing scattering angle lead to an overall decrease in the numbers of photons detected in the signal and idler channels.
