  "abstract": "In this work we present a very simple approach to input-output relations in optical cavities, limiting ourselves to one- and two-photon states of the field. After field quantization, we derive the non-unitary transformation between {\\em Inside} and {\\em Outside} annihilation and creation operators. Then we express the most general two-photon state generated by {\\em Inside} creation operators, through base states generated by {\\em Outside} creation operators. After renormalization of coefficients of inside two-photon state, we calculate the outside photon-number probability distribution in a general case. Finally we treat with some detail the single mode and symmetrical cavity case.",
