Abstract

We investigate the quantum statistical properties of the light emitted by a quantum well interacting with squeezed light from a degenerate subthreshold optical parametric oscillator. We obtain analytical solutions for the pertinent quantum Langevin equations in the strong-coupling and low-excitation regimes. Using these solutions we calculate the intensity spectrum, autocorrelation function, and quadrature squeezing for the fluorescent light. We show that the fluorescent light exhibits bunching and quadrature squeezing. We also show that the squeezed light leads to narrowing of the width of the spectrum of the fluorescent light.

Quantum features in a semiconductor microcavity with optical parametric oscillator and input squeezed field

Kidus Yosef, Desalegn Ayehu

Abstract In this paper we present a theoretical analysis of a scheme to enhance quantum statistical features of fluorescent light generated by a quantum well coupled to a degenerate optical parametric oscillator (DOPO) in a microcavity with an input squeezed field. We derive the quantum Langevin equations and solve them using Laplace transform method in the strong coupling regime. It is found that the intensity of the light is significantly enhanced while the normalized intensity spectrum remains largely unaffected by the external squeezed field. Additionally, the emitted light exhibits photon bunching, and the squeezing is notably improved, with the quadrature variance asymptotically approaching zero as the squeezing parameter increases. We also study the quadrature squeezing of the cavity mode and we show that a semiconductor microcavity can serve as a typical source of cavity mode squeezing, with the amount of squeezing significantly enhanced by the DOPO and the external squeezed field.

Two-Level Atom with Squeezed Light from Optical Parametric Oscillators

Tamirat Abebe, Nebiyu Gemechu

The dynamics of a coherently driven two-level atom with parametric amplifier and coupled to a vacuum reservoir is analyzed. The combination of the master equation and the quantum Langevin equation is presented to study the quantum properties of light. By using these equations, we have determined the time evolution of the expectation values of the cavity mode and atomic operators. Moreover, with the aid of these results, the correlation properties of noise operators, and the large-time approximation scheme, we calculate the mean photon number, power spectrum, second-order correlation function, and quadrature variances for the cavity-mode light and fluorescence. It is found that the half-width of the power spectrum for the fluorescent light in the presence of a parametric amplifier increases, while it decreases for the cavity-mode light. Moreover, we have found the probability for the atom to be in the upper level in the presence of a parametric amplifier.

External-field effect on quantum features of radiation emitted by a quantum well in a microcavity

Eyob Alebachew Sete, Sumanta Das, Hichem Eleuch

We consider a semiconductor quantum well in a microcavity driven by coherent light and coupled to a squeezed vacuum reservoir. By systematically solving the pertinent quantum Langevin equations in the strong-coupling and low-excitation regimes, we study the effect of exciton-photon detuning, external coherent light, and the squeezed vacuum reservoir on vacuum Rabi splitting and on quantum statistical properties of the light emitted by the quantum well. We show that the exciton-photon detuning leads to a shift in polariton resonance frequencies and a decrease in fluorescence intensity. We also show that the fluorescent light exhibits quadrature squeezing, which predominately depends on the exciton-photon detuning and the degree of the squeezing of the input field.

Quantum correlations and optical effects in a quantum-well cavity with a second-order nonlinearity

Houcem Jabri

Abstract In this paper, we investigate the photon correlations and the statistical properties of light produced by an optical cavity with an embedded quantum well interacting with squeezed light. We show that the squeezed source substantially improves the intensity of the emitted light and generates a narrowing and a duplication of the spectrum peaks. With a strong dependence on frequency detuning, the cavity produces considerably squeezed radiation, and perfect squeezing is predicted for weak light–matter interactions. Furthermore, the system under consideration presents a bunching effect of the transmitted radiation resulting from weak pumping of the coherent field. The results obtained may have potential applications in the fields of very accurate measurement and quantum computing.

Two-Mode Squeezed and Entangled Light Production in Parametric Oscillations

Desalegn Ayehu

We investigate the statistical and quadrature squeezings, as well as the entanglement properties, of a two-mode light generated by non-degenerate parametric oscillations coupled to a two-mode squeezed vacuum reservoir, by employing the solutions of the quantum Langevin equations. It is found that the two-mode light shows the two-mode squeezing and entanglement for all values of the time. Moreover, it is observed that the squeezed vacuum reservoir and the growing amplitude of the pump mode enhance the degrees of two-mode squeezing and entanglement. We have also shown that the amounts of squeezing and entanglement are significant in a region, where the mean photon number is higher, and the photon number correlation is lower.

Superposed Degenerate Parametric Oscillator with Coherent Light

Yimenu Yeshiwas

In this paper, we have studied the statistical and squeezing properties of the light produced by superposed light beams generating by a pair of degenerate parametric oscillator whose cavity mode is driven by a coherent light and is coupled to a vacuum reservoir via a single port mirror. We obtain c-number Langevin equation associated with the normal ordering using the pertinent master equation. Employing the solution of the c-number Langevin equation and the density operator, we have determined the mean and the variance photon number, quadrature variances and squeezing spectrum of the superposed light beams.
