Controlling squeezing and two-photon correlations with interference in subthreshold optical parametric oscillators

Roger Andrews, Edward R. Pike, Sarben Sarkar

Abstract

A multimode theory describing the generation of photon pairs in a high-finesse Fabry-Perot cavity is presented. We also examine how interference of pairs produced with a local oscillator produces bunching and antibunching effects and also squeezing.

Theory of photon statistics and squeezing in quantum interference of a sub-threshold parametric oscillator

Roger Andrews, Edward R. Pike, Sarben Sarkar

A multimode theory describing quantum interference of a subthreshold optical parametric oscillator (OPO) with a coherent local oscillator (LO) in a homodyne detection scheme is presented. Analytic expressions for the count rates in terms of the correlation time and relative phase difference between the LO and OPO have been derived. The spectrum of squeezing is also derived and the threshold for squeezing obtained in terms of the crystal nonlinearity and LO and OPO beam intensities.

Two-photon interference of multimode two-photon pairs with an unbalanced interferometer

Hayato Goto, Haibo Wang, Tomoyuki Horikiri +2 more

Two-photon interference of multimode two-photon pairs produced by an optical parametric oscillator has been observed with an unbalanced interferometer. The time correlation between the multimode two photons has a multipeaked structure. This property of the multimode two-photon state induces two-photon interference depending on the delay time.

PREPARATION AND MANIPULATION OF MODE-LOCKED TWO-PHOTON STATE

Y. J. Lu, F. HUANG, Z. Y. Ou

The article describes the quantum properties of mode-locked two-photon state generated through either a Fabry–Perot cavity or a sub-threshold optical parametric oscillator. It is shown that the time correlation function of such a state exhibits a comb-like structure. Different approaches to observe this comb-like feature are thoroughly discussed. The experiment demonstrates several different quantum interference effects with a mode-locked two-photon state. An analysis of the experiment leads to a new control technique of two-photon interference and to a better understanding of time-entangled two-photon state. A novel quantum information coding is predicted if such a state is mixed with a single-mode wide band two-photon state.

Nonclassical Interference of Multimode Two-Photon Pairs with an Unbalanced Interferometer

Hayato Goto, Haibo Wang, Tomoyuki Horikiri +2 more

Nonclassical interference of multimode two-photon pairs produced by an optical parametric oscillator(OPO) has been observed using an unbalanced interferometer. The time correlation between the multimode two photons has a multi-peaked structure. The use of the multimode two-photon state has enabled the observation of the nonclassical interference at nonzero delay time.

Interference of squeezed light produced by two independent optical parametric oscillators

Junxiang Zhang, Changde Xie, Kunchi Peng

The interference of the squeezed light produced by two independent, identical optical parametric oscillators below threshold is discussed in the context of semiclassical theory. It is shown that interference exists in the usual sense between the output fields from two optical parametric oscillators with coherent injected signals. The degree of squeezing and the intensity and noise fluctuation of the interference field are calculated in detail.

Observation of an Oscillatory Correlation Function of Multimode Two-Photon Pairs

Takayoshi Kobayashi

An oscillatory correlation function has been observed by the coincidence counting of multimode two-photon pairs produced with a degenerate optical parametric oscillator far below threshold. The coherent superposition of the multimode two-photon pairs provides the oscillation in the intensity correlation function. The experimental data are well fitted to a theoretical curve.
