Reduction of quantum noise in optical parametric amplification
We experimentally demonstrate that a type-II pulsed optical parametric amplifier operated in a phaseinsensitive configuration works as a near-perfect classical optical amplifier whose noise figure approaches 3 dB at high gains. We further demonstrate that, when operated in a phase-sensitive configuration, this amplifier works as a quantum-optical amplifier whose noise figure goes below 3 dB and...
متن کاملExcess quantum noise in optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification.
Noise evolution in an optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier (OPCPA) differs essentially from that of an optical parametric or a conventional laser amplifier, in that an incoherent pedestal is produced by superfluorescence that can overwhelm the signal under strong saturation. Using a model for the nonlinear dynamics consistent with quantum mechanics, we numerically study the evolution of e...
متن کاملQuantum noise reduction in singly resonant optical devices
Quantum noise in a model of singly resonant frequency doubling including phase mismatch and driving in the harmonic mode is analyzed. The general formulae about the xed points and their stability as well as the squeezing spectra calculated linearizing around such points are given. The use of a nonlinear normalization allows to disentangle in the spectra the dynamic response of the system from t...
متن کاملNoise-Free Amplification: Towards Quantum Laser Radar
The architecture of a Quantum Imaging LADAR is shown in Fig. 1. Without the elements depicted by dashed lines, it is equivalent to current state-ofthe-art JIGSAW LADAR [1], where 3D pictures (2 transverse dimensions + time-of-flight information) of the target are collected from different points to permit foliage cover penetration. In the quantum configuration, a Quantum Image Enhancer (QIE) is ...
