Abstract

We investigate the steady-state photon-number squeezing and quantum entanglement in a network of nondegenerate optical parametric oscillators (NOPOs). We treat each NOPO with Shen's Raman laser model, whose lasing mode provides a photon-number-squeezed state. Two dissipatively coupled NOPOs satisfy Hillery-Zubairy's $HZ1$ entanglement criterion if they are pumped far above the threshold and the dissipative coupling is sufficiently larger than the NOPO cavity loss.

Entanglement and Photon Anti-Bunching in Coupled Non-Degenerate Parametric Oscillators

Yoshitaka Inui, Y. Yamamoto

We analytically and numerically show that the Hillery-Zubairy's entanglement criterion is satisfied both below and above the threshold of coupled non-degenerate optical parametric oscillators (NOPOs) with strong nonlinear gain saturation and dissipative linear coupling. We investigated two cases: for large pump mode dissipation, below-threshold entanglement is possible only when the parametric interaction has an enough detuning among the signal, idler, and pump photon modes. On the other hand, for a large dissipative coupling, below-threshold entanglement is possible even when there is no detuning in the parametric interaction. In both cases, a non-Gaussian state entanglement criterion is satisfied even at the threshold. Recent progress in nano-photonic devices might make it possible to experimentally demonstrate this phase transition in a coherent XY machine with quantum correlations.

Entangled self-phase locked states of light

Hayk H. Adamyan, Gagik Yu. Kryuchkyan

We explore in detail the possibility of generation of continuous-variable (CV) entangled states of light fields with well-localized phases. We show that such quantum states, called entangled self-phase locked states, can be generated in nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator (NOPO) based on a type-II phase-matched down-conversion combined with polarization mixer in a cavity. A quantum theory of this device, recently realized in the experiment, is developed for both sub-threshold and above-threshold operational regimes. We show that the system providing relative phase coherence between two generated modes also exhibits different types of quantum correlations between photon numbers and phases of these modes. We quantify the entanglement as two-mode squeezing and show that CV entanglement is realized for both unitary, non-dissipative dynamics and for dissipative NOPO in the entire range of pump field intensities.

Entanglement analyses of a nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator with a higher-transmissivity cavity mirror

Dong Wang, Shuhong Hao, Lixu Xie +1 more

Nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator (NOPO) above threshold is a simple set-up to generate entangled beams. To more accurately calculate the entanglement between the generated twin beams from the NOPO, we use the Langevin equations for the NOPO with a higher-transmissivity cavity mirror. The obtained new expressions for the amplitude-difference and phase-sum noise spectra suggest that increasing the transmissivity of the output mirror can enhance the entanglement beyond the previous expectation.

Continuous-variable entanglement of phase-locked light beams

Hayk H. Adamyan, Gagik Yu. Kryuchkyan

We explore in detail the possibility of intracavity generation of continuous-variable (CV) entangled states of light beams under mode phase-locked conditions. We show that such quantum states can be generated in a self-phase-locked nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator (NOPO) based on type II phase-matched down-conversion combined with a linear mixer of two orthogonally polarized modes of the subharmonics in a cavity. A quantum theory of this device, recently realized in the experiment, is developed for both subthreshold and above-threshold operational regimes. We show that the system providing high-level phase coherence between two generated modes, unlike the ordinary NOPO, also exhibits different types of quantum correlations between photon numbers and phases of these modes. We quantify the CV entanglement as two-mode squeezing and show that the maximal degree of the integral two-mode squeezing (which is $50%$ relative to the level of vacuum fluctuations) is achieved at the pump field intensity close to the generation threshold of a self-phase-locked NOPO, provided that the constant of linear coupling between the two polarizations is much less than the mode detunings. The peculiarities of CV entanglement for the case of unitary, nondissipative dynamics of the system under consideration are also cleared up.

Continuous-variable entanglement in a nondegenerate three-level laser with a parametric oscillator

Eyob Alebachew

We consider a nondegenerate three-level cascade laser with a subthreshold nondegenerate parametric oscillator coupled to a vacuum reservoir. Applying the pertinent master equation, we analyze the squeezing and entanglement properties of the two-mode light produced by this quantum optical system inside and outside the cavity. We also determine the normalized second-order correlation function for the two-mode light as well as for individual mode. We find that the light generated by this system is in a two-mode squeezed state and the state of the system is strongly entangled at steady state. Moreover, the presence of the parametric oscillator leads to an increase in the degree of squeezing and entanglement. We also find that the intermode correlation decreases as the injected atomic coherence decreases in the system.

Nonclassical Properties and Comparison of Two Squeezings

Tian Zhang

The criteria for the existence of nonclassical effects of the signal and coupled modes are obtained through the Pokker-Planck equation in the nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator (NOPO).For the first time,the relation between the nonclassical depth and the intensity correlation and the comparison between the two-mode squeezing (TMS) and the intensity difference squeezing (IDS) have been presented.
