Abstract

We have demonstrated 3dB relative intensity squeezing from a non-degenerate four-wave mixing scheme in hot atomic rubidium vapor. The generated twin beams are narrowband and are suitable for atomic manipulation.

Strong Relative-Intensity Squeezing of Light from Four-Wave Mixing in Hot Rb Vapor

Paul D. Lett, Vincent Boyer, Alberto M. Marino +2 more

We use nondegenerate four-wave mixing in hot atomic vapor to generate up to −7.1dB of relative-intensity squeezing between the probe and conjugate beams. This narrowband, multispatial-mode, squeezed light near an atomic resonance is of interest for image processing as well as experiments involving atomic ensembles.

Strong relative intensity squeezing by four-wave mixing in rubidium vapor

Colin F. McCormick, Vincent Boyer, E. Arimondo +1 more

We have measured -3.5 dB (-8.1 dB corrected for losses) relative intensity squeezing between probe and conjugate beams generated by stimulated, nondegenerate four-wave mixing in hot rubidium vapor. Unlike early observations of squeezing in atomic vapors based on saturation of a two-level system, our scheme uses a resonant nonlinearity based on ground-state coherences in a three-level system. Since this scheme produces narrowband, squeezed light near an atomic resonance, it is of interest for experiments involving cold atoms or atomic ensembles.

Twin-beam Intensity-difference Squeezing below 10 Hz from Dual-seeded Four-wave Mixing

We have obtained bright-beam intensity-difference squeezing below 10 Hz via four-wave mixing in a rubidium vapor. This was accomplished by increasing phase matching angle and using two seed beams to balance the power.

We report the generation of squeezed light from phase conjugation using backwards four-wave mixing in warm rubidium vapor. We observe a squeezing bandwidth of ~3MHz and achieve 1dB of intensity difference squeezing at 1MHz.
