Quantum noise evolution under optical Kerr effects and two-photon absorption in a semiconductor waveguide

Heongkyu Ju, Eun‐Cheol Lee

We theoretically study evolution of quantum noise of ultrashort pulsed light that propagates a semiconductor waveguide where nonlinear optical interaction occurs. Optical quantum noise is simulated by statistical (pseudo-)random distribution of phasors in a phase space with Gaussian probability weight, and each phasor evolution is governed by beam propagation method. It is shown that Kerr effects squeeze quantum noise of coherent light in a phase space such that photon-number noise is unchanged while phase noise increasing with uncertainty area invariant. However, two-photon absorption alters the photon-number statistics of light unlike Kerr effects.

Quantum-Squeezing-Engineered Third-Order Kerr Nonlinearity and Optical High-Order Sideband Comb in a Composite Resonator-Atom System

Chang Yin Gao, Feifei Liu, Z. X. Fan +3 more

Optical microresonators can greatly enhance light-matter interactions and reduce the power necessary to observe nonlinear optical effects. Manipulation and application of atom-resonator-coupling-induced strong nonlinearity have received much attention in recent years. Here, we present a scheme to realize quantum-squeezing-engineered third-order Kerr nonlinearity and optical high-order sideband comb in a composite system consisting of a two-level atom and two directly coupled whispering-gallery-mode optical microresonators. By quantum squeezing one of two coupled resonator modes in this system, the effective resonator-resonator and atom-resonator coupling rates as well as the frequency of the squeezed resonator mode can be effectively controlled. Based on this mechanism, we show that the Kerr nonlinearity of the composite system can be effectively engineered by using the resonator-mode squeezing when the system is monochromatically driven beyond the weak-excitation limit. On the other hand, when the composite system is bichromatically driven, the optical high-order sideband combs formed in the transmission spectra of the system can also be effectively engineered by the resonator-mode squeezing. Therefore, our scheme provides a novel mechanism to control the physical properties of composite resonator-atom systems for various applications, and demonstrates that optical nonlinear effects induced by the atom-resonator coupling can be effectively engineered via quantum squeezing.

Quantum noise in energy-efficient slow light structures for optical computing: sqeezed light from slow light

Ryan Hamerly, Kambiz Jamshidi, Hideo Mabuchi

Due to their strong light confinement, waveguides with optical nonlinearities may be a promising platform for energy-efficient optical computing. Slow light can enhance a waveguide’s effective nonlinearity, which could result in devices that operate in low-power regimes where quantum fluctuations are important, and may also have quantum applications including squeezing and entanglement generation. In this manuscript, slow-light structures based on the Kerr (χ(3)) nonlinearity are analyzed using a semi-classical model to account for the quantum noise. We develop a hybrid split-step / Runge-Kutta numerical model to compute the mean field and squeezing spectrum for pulses propagating down a waveguide, and use this model to study squeezing produced in optical waveguides. Scaling relations are explored, and the benefits and limitations of slow light are discussed in the context of squeezing.
