Bright squeezed light via second harmonic generation in a whispering-gallery mode resonator
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the conditions necessary for bright squeezed light generation through second harmonic generation inside a crystalline whispering-gallery mode resonator. We show that the variance of a coherent mode can be reduced by a factor of 9 due to low loss through a nonlinear medium. This results in a one-step process that can generate efficient bright squeeze light at a desired wavelength.

We experimentally demonstrate continuous-wave ultraviolet emission through forth-harmonic generation in a millimeter-scale lithium niobate whispering-gallery resonator pumped with a telecommunication-compatible infrared source. The whispering-gallery resonator provides four spectral lines at ultraviolet, visible, near-infrared and infrared, which are equally spaced in frequency via the cascaded...
متن کاملSecond-harmonic generation using -quasi-phasematching in a GaAs whispering-gallery-mode microcavity
The 4 crystal symmetry in materials such as GaAs can enable quasi-phasematching for efficient optical frequency conversion without poling, twinning or other engineered domain inversions. 4 symmetry means that a 90° rotation is equivalent to a crystallographic inversion. Therefore, when light circulates about the 4 axis, as in GaAs whispering-gallery-mode microdisks, it encounters effective doma...
متن کاملObservation of second-order hyper-Raman generation in LiNbO3 whispering-gallery mode disk resonators.
In this Letter we report experimental demonstration of nonlinear frequency conversion at several optical frequencies in a whispering-gallery mode resonator (WGMR). Because of the enhancement of nonlinear interactions inside a WGMR, interaction of a 1064 nm pump field with a LiNbO(3) disk produced a weak but measurable non-phase-matched 532 nm second-harmonic field at room temperature (>100 °C b...
