Nonclassical states of the second optical harmonic in the presence of self-action

A. S. Chirkin, Natalia Korolkova

Published Jan 1, 1993• 0 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

The quantum theory of coherent radiation frequency doubling in crystals with quadratic and cubic optical nonlinearities is developed. The possibility of producing the quadrature-squeezed state of the second harmonic (SH) field is shown. The nonclassical SH states arise due to self-action effect.

Generation of squeezed light upon frequency self-doubling in active nonlinear crystals with regular domain structure

A. A. Novikov, Лаптев Георгий Дмитриевич, A. S. Chirkin

A quantum theory of self-convers of the lasing frequency in active nonlinear crystals placed in a cavity is developed. The generation of nonclassical (quadrature squeezed) light upon self-doubling of the laser radiation frequency is studied in detail, with no limitations on the relations between the relaxation times of the inverse population and the polarization of the medium and the lifetime of a photon in the cavity. The fluctuation spectra of the quadrature components of the fields of the laser radiation and its second harmonic are studied in dependence on the pumping parameters and the parameters of the cavity. Numerical calculations are performed for a Nd:Mg:LiNbO 3 crystal with a regular domain structure.

Generation of squeezed light at doubled frequency in a ring resonator

V. N. Beskrovnyi, Anatoliy S. Chirkin

A theory of generating nonclassical light in a ring resonator is developed. The equations of second harmonic (SH) generation are solved within accuracy of third power of coupling coefficient. The expressions for variances of the quadrature SH are obtained and discussed. The problem of applying quantum operators for field inside the resonator is investigated.

Formation of polarisation-squeezed light in type II optical frequency doubling

V. N. Beskrovnyi, Anatolii S Chirkin

A new efficient method for the generation of light with a nonclassical polarisation state is proposed. This method is based on second-harmonic generation by mixing the fundamental-frequency radiation with ordinary and extraordinary polarisations in a quadratically nonlinear crystal. It is shown that fundamental-frequency radiation with strongly suppressed quantum fluctuations of the Stokes parameters can be obtained at the output from this crystal.

Generation of quadrature-squeezed light of ultrashort pulses in a medium with inertial cubic nonlinearity

A. S. Chirkin, F. Popescu

A consistent quantum theory of self-action and cross-interaction of coherent light pulses in a cubically nonlinear medium is developed by using the momentum operator of the field, which takes into account the inertial nonlinearity. Specific features of generation of the quadrature-squeezed states of light pulses are considered. The spectrum of fluctuations of a quadrature below the shot-noise level is analyzed as a function of the relaxation time of nonlinearity and the magnitude of nonlinear phase additions, related to the self-action and cross-interaction.

Generation of nonclassical states of a field with frequency-dependent squeezing

Victor V. Kulagin

The generation of nonclassical states of light with specified frequency-dependent squeezing by way of introducing a correlation between the phase and amplitude of the input field is considered. Three schemes for measuring amplitude fluctuations of the input beam, based on a nondemolition measurement of the intensity in a nonlinear cubic crystal, the effect of light rectification in a quadratic optical crystal, and the use of a non-degenerate optical parametric oscillator, are proposed. The maximum possible value of noise suppression is estimated for each scheme. The prospects for practical realization of the proposed method for generation of frequency-dependent squeezed states are discussed.

Squeezed state of light at doubled frequency in an external ring cavity

V. N. Beskrovnyi, Anatolii S Chirkin

A physical interpretation of the formation of squeezed light at the doubled frequency is proposed. A quantum theory of second-harmonic generation in a ring cavity, with a resonance at the second harmonic, is developed. The efficiency of squeezing quantum fluctuations of the quadrature components is considered as a function of the mirror reflection coefficients and of the efficiency of conversion to the second harmonic in one cavity trip.
