Abstract

We have constructed a phase sensitive optical amplifier based on four-wave mixing in rubidium vapor. This low-gain amplifier operates in the quantum regime and is capable of noiseless amplification of images.

We implement a noiseless optical amplifier through a phase-sensitive four-wave mixing process in rubidium vapor and show that it does not significantly degrade the signal-to-noise ratio. Preliminary results show its multi-spatial-mode nature.

Noiseless Optical Amplification of Images

Sang-Kyung Choi, Michael Vasilyev, Prem Kumar

We used a spatially broadband optical parametric amplifier for image amplification. In the phase-sensitive configuration of the amplifier, we observed noiseless amplification of input images. For a gain of $\ensuremath{\simeq}2.5$, we measured noise-figure values of ( $0.2\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.6$) and ( $0.4\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.5$) dB, respectively, for two amplifiers of different lengths. These experimental values agree with theory (for an ideal noiseless amplifier the noise figure is 0 dB) and are almost 2 dB lower than the quantum limit of an ideal phase-insensitive amplifier.
