Small scale Suspended Interferometer for Ponderomotive Squeezing (SIPS) as test bench of the EPR squeezer for Advanced Virgo

S. Di Pace, Luca Naticchioni, ETTORE MAJORANA +13 more

We are developing a small-scale interferometer with monolithic suspension of test masses (SIPS), that will be sensitive to the quantum radiation pressure noise in the audio frequency band of gravitational wave detectors. In the same time, a table-top experiment for the frequency dependent squeezing generation, through the Einstein Podolsky Rosen (EPR) principle, is under construction. SIPS interferometer, being designed to achieve the quantum radiation pressure noise limit exploiting high finesse optical cavities, turns out to be a suitable test bench for the EPR technique, before a possible integration in Virgo for broadband quantum noise reduction. In this work, we describe the concept of the SIPS experiment, the most important noises affecting this setup, and we briefly present the current status and the plan for the integration with the EPR squeezing experiment.

Dissipative optomechanical squeezing of light

Andreas Kronwald, Florian Marquardt, Aashish A. Clerk

We discuss a simple yet surprisingly effective mechanism which allows the generation of squeezed output light from an optomechanical cavity. In contrast to the well known mechanism of 'ponderomotive squeezing', our scheme generates squeezed output light by explicitly using the dissipative nature of the mechanical resonator. We show that our scheme has many advantages over ponderomotive squeezing; in particular, it is far more effective in the good cavity limit commonly used in experiments. Furthermore, the squeezing generated in our approach can be directly used to enhance the intrinsic measurement sensitivity of the optomechanical cavity; one does not have to feed the squeezed light into a separate measurement device. As our scheme is very general, it could also e.g. be implemented using superconducting circuits.

A ponderomotively squeezed source for advanced gravitational-wave interferometers

T. R. Corbitt, Yanbei Chen, David J. Ottaway +4 more

We propose an experiment to extract ponderomotive squeezing from an interferometer with high circulating power and low mass mirrors.In this interferometer, optical resonances of the arm cavities are detuned from the laser frequency, creating a mechanical rigidity that dramatically suppresses displacement noises.After taking into account imperfection of optical elements, laser noise, and other technical noise consistent with existing laser and optical technologies and typical laboratory environments, we expect the output light from the interferometer to have measurable squeezing of 5 dB, with a frequency-independent squeeze angle for frequencies below 1 kHz.This squeeze source is well suited for injection into a gravitational-wave interferometer, leading to improved sensitivity from reduction in the quantum noise.Furthermore, this design provides an experimental test of quantum-limited radiation pressure effects, which have not previously been tested.
