Quantum optics

the suppression of a second photon entering a strongly nonlinear cavity once one photon is present, producing antibunched light.

In quantum optics, photon blockade refers to the suppression of a second photon entering a strongly nonlinear cavity once one photon is present, producing antibunched light. This meaning comes from Birnbaum (2005) in Nature.[1]
