Pulsed squeezed-light generation in x (2) nonlinear waveguides

چکیده
We present a brief history of experimental studies of quadrature squeezing, a tutorial on the physical origin and theory of squeezing, and our experimental study of squeezing by means of x (2) (second-order) nonlinear waveguides. We recently obtained 28% squeezing in quasi-phase-matched LiTaO3 waveguides, using picosecond pulses. The amount of squeezing appears to be limited primarily by blue-light-induced red absorption. © 1997 Optical Society of America [S0740-3224(97)00211-7]

Pulsed quadrature-phase squeezing of solitary waves in x „2... parametric waveguides
It is shown that coherent quantum simultons ~simultaneous solitary waves at two different frequencies! can undergo quadrature-phase squeezing as they propagate through a dispersive x (2) waveguide. This requires a treatment of the coupled quantized fields including a quantized depleted pump field. A technique involving nonlinear stochastic parabolic partial differential equations using a nondia...
متن کاملGeneration of pulsed and continuous-wave squeezed light with 87Rb vapor.
We present experimental studies on the generation of pulsed and continuous-wave squeezed vacuum via nonlinear rotation of the polarization ellipse in a (87)Rb vapor. Squeezing is observed for a wide range of input powers and pump detunings on the D1 line, while only excess noise is present on the D2 line. The maximum continuous-wave squeezing observed is -1.4 +/- 0.1 dB (-2.0 dB corrected for l...

متن کاملSqueezed light from microstructured fibres: towards free space quantum cryptography
Amplitude squeezed pulsed light has been produced using a microstructured silica fibre. By spectrally filtering after the nonlinear propagation in the fibre a squeezing value of -1.7dB has been measured. A quantum key distribution scheme based on squeezed light from such microstructured fibres is proposed.
متن کاملFrom quantum pulse gate to quantum pulse shaper—engineered frequency conversion in nonlinear optical waveguides
Full control over the spatiotemporal structure of quantum states of light is an important goal in quantum optics, to generate, for instance, singlemode quantum pulses or to encode information on multiple modes, enhancing channel capacities. Quantum light pulses feature an inherent, rich spectral broadband-mode structure. In recent years, exploring the use of integrated optics as well as source ...
