Non-linear and quantum optics of a type II OPO
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe theoretically the quantum properties of a type-II Optical Parametric Oscillator containing a birefringent plate which induces a linear coupling between the orthogonally polarized signal and idler beams and results in phase locking between these two beams. As in a classical OPO, the signal and idler waves show large quantum correlations which can be measured experimentally due to the phase locking between the two beams. We study the influence of the waveplate on the various criteria characterizing quantum correlations. We show in particular that the quantum correlations can be maximized by using optimized quadratures.

Non-linear and quantum optics of a type II OPO containing a birefringent element Part 1: Classical operation
We describe theoretically the main characteristics of the steady state regime of a type II Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) containing a birefringent plate. In such a device the signal and idler waves are at the same time linearly coupled by the plate and nonlinearly coupled by the χ crystal. This mixed coupling allows, in some well-defined range of the control parameters, a frequency degene...
متن کاملSimple, high-performance type II ?-BaB 2 O 4 optical parametric oscillator.
A visible /near-IR optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on type II phase matching in ?-BaB2 O4 (BBO) is described. Pumped at 355 nm, this OPO covers 410 -2500 nm completely with a single set of standard Nd:YAG cavity optics. The output efficiency is >25 %, the linewidth of the OPO is narrower than 1 -2 cm-1 without the use of gratings or etalons, and the signal-beam divergence is <400 ?rad...
متن کاملZnGeP2 optical parametric oscillator with 3.8-12.4-mum tunability.
A ZnGeP>(2) (ZGP) optical parametric oscillator (OPO) with wide mid-IR tunability has been demonstrated. The singly resonant angle-tuned ZGP OPO was pumped by 100-ns erbium laser pulses at lambda =2.93mum and yielded output that was continuously tunable from 3.8 to 12.4 mum (type I phase matching) and from 4 to 10 mum (type II phase matching). An OPO pump threshold was less than 1 mJ in the who...
متن کاملA Non-Demolition Photon Counting Method by Four-Level Inverted Y-Type Atom
The semi-classical model of atom-field interaction has been fully studied for some multilevel atoms, e.g. Vee, L, Cascade X , Y, and inverted Y and so on. This issue is developed into the full-quantum electrodynamics formalism, where the probe and coupling electromagnetic fields are quantized. In this article, we investigate the full-quantum model of absorption and dispersion spectrum of trappe...
متن کاملCoherent Transport of Single Photon in a Quantum Super-cavity with Mirrors Composed of Λ-Type Three-level Atomic Ensembles
In this paper, we study the coherent transport of single photon in a coupled resonator waveguide (CRW) where two threelevel Λ-type atomic ensembles are embedded in two separate cavities. We show that it is possible to control the photon transmission and reflection coefficients by using classical control fields. In particular, we find that the total photon transmission and reflection are achieva...
