Generation 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 کاملGeneration of strongly squeezed continuous-wave light at 1064 nm.
A compact and effcient source of amplitude-squeezed light is described. It employs a semi-monolithic degenerate MgO:LiNbO(3) optical parametric amplifier pumped by a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser at 532 nm. Injection-seeding of the amplifier by a 1064 nm wave permits active stabilization of the cavity length and stable operation. At a pump power of 380 mW, a maximum noise reduction of 6.5 dB i...
متن کاملGeneration of degenerate, factorizable, pulsed squeezed light at telecom wavelengths.
We characterize a periodically poled KTP crystal that produces an entangled, two-mode, squeezed state with orthogonal polarizations, nearly identical, factorizable frequency modes, and few photons in unwanted frequency modes. We focus the pump beam to create a nearly circular joint spectral probability distribution between the two modes. After disentangling the two modes, we observe Hong-Ou-Man...
متن کاملPulsed squeezed-light generation in x (2) nonlinear waveguides
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-l...
متن کاملSqueezed Light and Entangled Images from Four-Wave-Mixing in Hot Rubidium Vapor
Entangled multi-spatial-mode fields have interesting applications in quantum information, such as parallel quantum information protocols, quantum computing, and quantum imaging. We study the use of a nondegenerate four-wave mixing process in rubidium vapor at 795 nm to demonstrate generation of quantum-entangled images. Owing to the lack of an optical resonator cavity, the four-wave mixing sche...
