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 کاملNoise characteristics of a non-degenerate Optical Parametric Oscillator - Application to quantum noise reduction
2014 A semi-classical analysis of the noise characteristics of a non degenerate, above threshold, optical parametric oscillator is presented, yielding expressions for the quantum fluctuations of the output field intensities and phases. Particular emphasis is given to the study of the noise on the intensity difference between the two generated fields. The effect of losses, unbalance, detunings a...
متن کاملEfficient Long Range Communication by Quantum Injected Optical Parametric Amplification
Free-space optical communications over long distances are associated with severe losses while the natural limit for the energy associated to a single bit of information is just one photon. In order to enhance the transmission Efficiency we propose the use of macro qubits consisting of thousand of photons. We investigate the Fidelity of the transmission of a macro-qubit generated by quantum inje...
متن کاملParametric downconversion vs optical parametric amplification: a comparison of their quantum statistics
The extent to which the intense light generated by an unseeded, high-gain optical parametric ampli®er retains the desired quantum statistical properties of the individual photon pairs generated by spontaneous parametric downconversion is analysed. It is shown that certain but not all of these properties are retained, with important implications for applications of quantum optics.
