Abstract

We generated bright entangled beams in an optical parametric oscillator, operating above threshold. Tripartite pump-signal-idler entanglement, all with different frequencies, was also predicted and three-color quantum correlations already measured.

Quantum correlations between bright pump, signal, and idler beams produced by an optical parametric oscillator, all with different frequencies, are experimentally demonstrated. We show that the degree of entanglement between signal and idler fields is improved by using information of pump fluctuations. This is the first observation of three-color optical quantum correlations.

Quantum correlations among bright pump, signal, and idler beams produced by an optical parametric oscillator, all with different frequencies, are experimentally demonstrated. We show that the degree of entanglement between signal and idler fields is improved by using information on pump fluctuations. To our knowledge this is the first observation of three-color optical quantum correlations.

The quest for three-color entanglement: experimental investigation of new multipartite quantum correlations

We experimentally investigate quadrature correlations between pump, signal, and idler fields in an above-threshold optical parametric oscillator. We observe new quantum correlations among the pump and signal or idler beams, as well as among the pump and a combined quadrature of signal and idler beams. A further investigation of unforeseen classical noise observed in this system is presented, which hinders the observation of the recently predicted tripartite entanglement. In spite of this noise, current results approach the limit required to demonstrate three-color entanglement.

Entanglement and quantum correlations in the optical parametric oscillator above threshold

We describe several recent experimental studies in the above-threshold optical parametric oscillator (OPO). Seventeen years after the original prediction, entanglement of the twin beams was experimentally demonstrated in 2005. It was followed by the prediction that the OPO should directly produce tripartite pump-signal-idler entangled beams. We also present experimental quantum correlations among these three fields.

This paper presents an experimental demonstration of three-color quantum correlations between the bright pump, signal, and idler beams produced by an optical parametric oscillator (OPO). This paper shows that the degree of entanglement between the twin beams can be increased by using information from the pump beam.
