Abstract:

We investigate the medium effect of a parity-time (PT)-symmetric bilayer on the quantum optical properties of an incident squeezed light at zero temperature (T=0 K). To do so, we use the canonical quantization approach and describe the amplification and dissipation properties of the constituent layers of the bilayer structure by Lorentz model to analyze the quadrature squeezing of the outgoing state from the bilayer structure. Our results show that despite the apparent compensation of the losses within the bilayer in the symmetry phase, the outgoing light is no longer squeezed. The results also show that the quantum optical effective medium theory correctly predicts the quantum features of the light outgoing from the PT-symmetric bilayer structure.

Nonlinear modal interactions in parity-time (PT) symmetric lasers

Parity-time symmetric lasers have attracted considerable attention lately due to their promising applications and intriguing properties, such as free spectral range doubling and single-mode lasing. In this work we discuss nonlinear modal interactions in these laser systems under steady state conditions, and we demonstrate that several gain clamping scenarios can occur for lasing operation in th...

Integrable nonlinear parity-time-symmetric optical oscillator.

The nonlinear dynamics of a balanced parity-time-symmetric optical microring arrangement are analytically investigated. By considering gain and loss saturation effects, the pertinent conservation laws are explicitly obtained in the Stokes domain, thus establishing integrability. Our analysis indicates the existence of two regimes of oscillatory dynamics and frequency locking, both of which are ...

Parity-time-symmetric quantum critical phenomena

Synthetic non-conservative systems with parity-time (PT) symmetric gain-loss structures can exhibit unusual spontaneous symmetry breaking that accompanies spectral singularity. Recent studies on PT symmetry in optics and weakly interacting open quantum systems have revealed intriguing physical properties, yet many-body correlations still play no role. Here by extending the idea of PT symmetry t...

Quantum-enhanced Optical Magnetometer Using Squeezed Light in Atomic Vapor

We have built an optical magnetometer based on the nonlinear Faraday effect in hot Rb vapor and probe this device with both coherent light and polarization-squeezed light. We generate the squeezed light states using the polarization self-rotation effect in Rb vapor, optimized for the highest noise suppression, giving us a system which is allatomic. By probing with polarization-squeezed states o...

Squeezed-light optical magnetometry.

We demonstrate a light-shot-noise-limited magnetometer based on the Faraday effect in a hot unpolarized ensemble of rubidium atoms. By using off-resonant, polarization-squeezed probe light, we improve the sensitivity of the magnetometer by 3.2 dB. The technique could improve the sensitivity of the most advanced magnetometers and quantum nondemolition measurements of atomic spin ensembles.

Anderson localization of light in PT-symmetric optical lattices.

Anderson localization (AL) of light is investigated numerically in a disordered parity-time (PT)-symmetric potential, in the form of an optical lattice. The lattice is recorded in a nonlinear medium with Kerr nonlinearity. We demonstrate enhancement of light localization in a PT-symmetric lattice, as compared to the localization in the corresponding real lattice. The effect of strength of the g...
