We have generated pulsed quadrature squeezed light by cross-phase modulation in the single-crystal zinc-blende semiconductor ZnSe at 960 nm. Squeezing levels of at least 0.3 dB are measured (0.7 dB inferred at the crystal) with pulse widths of less than 100 fs. The technique is straightforward and should be readily applicable to other semiconductors, including waveguide structures.

Generation of Non-Classical Light by Four-Wave Mixing in Semiconductors

A. M. Fox, Maurizio Dabbicco, J.F. Ryan

We describe experiments to generate non-classical quadrature squeezed states of light by four-wave mixing in semiconductors. Squeezing can be achieved with either the diagonal or off-diagonal components of the third-order nonlinear susceptibility tensor. We have demonstrated squeezing by self-phase modulation in ZnS at 780 nm, and by cross-phase modulation in ZnSe at 960 nm. Possibilities for generating squeezed light in other materials by these techniques are discussed.

Femtosecond quadrature-squeezed light generation in CdSe at 155??µm

G.-M. Schucan, A. M. Fox, J.F. Ryan

We generated pulsed quadrature-squeezed light by cross-phase modulation in single-crystal hexagonal CdSe at wavelengths of 1.4 to 1.55mum . We measured 0.4-dB squeezing (0.7 dB is inferred at the crystal) with 100-fs laser pulses. The wavelength and the intensity dependence, as well as variations in the local oscillator configuration, are examined. At higher intensities squeezing is shown to deteriorate owing to competing nonlinear processes.
