Abstract

A new recirculating fibre ring interferometer with an intracavity fibre amplifier and a broadband light source is developed. A substantial increase in the threshold sensitivity of the interferometer to rotation and an increase in the scale factor are experimentally demonstrated in the near-threshold regime.

ENHANCED SQUEEZING OF THE INTRACAVITY LIGHT FIELD PRODUCED IN PARAMETRIC AMPLIFICATION VIA LASER INJECTION

TAN WEI-HAN, Weiping Zhang, TAN WEI-SI +1 more

For the squeezing of intracavity light fields produced in a parametric amplifier located within a cavity, we use laser injection which can compensate the effects of the cavity losses and therefore reduce the random force on the squeezing, and thus generate a large amount of intracavity squeezing near the threshold of oscillation.

Phase modulation enhancement in an amplified photorefractive ring cavity

Jean-François Cormier

Phase modulation enhancement in a photorefractive ring cavity was first considered by Jimenez, Mondragon and Stepanov who showed that the sensitivity in such systems is seriously limited by losses in the cavity and in the photorefractive material. Delaye et al. experimentally demonstrated the feasibility of such an approach using a BaTiO3 crystal at 532 nm. We are exploring the application of this concept at the Nd-YAG wavelength (1.064 μm) using as photorefractive recirculator a semiconductor photorefractive crystal combined with a Nd-YAG amplifier to compensate the losses occurring in particular at the probed surface. Experimental results obtained with a GaAs crystal and their analysis will be presented.

A fast-light medium placed inside a resonant interferometer can be used to enhance its sensitivity significantly. At the same time, the linewidth of the cavity resonance can be highly augmented without sacrificing the cavity build-up.

Squeezed state enhanced polarization Interferometry

Philippe Grangier, Bernard Yurke, Richard E. Slusher

Since the first proposal by Caves1 that squeezed light could be used to enhance the sensitivity of a gravitational wave interferometric antenna, squeezed states have been demonstrated in the laboratory but not yet used in an actual measurement system. This paper describes a polarization interferometer experiment, operated with a squeezed light source, designed to improve the interferometer sensitivity beyond the standard quantum limit. The interferometer consists of two polarization beam splitters, whose axes are oriented 45° with respect to each other. Linearly polarized incident laser light is transmitted by the first polarizer and split by the second one, which also acts as the splitter for a balanced homodyne detector. A rotation of the polarization between the two polarizers can be detected with quantum-limited sensitivity (e.g., ±1 μrad). The squeezed light entering the other port of the interferometer is produced using a χ2 crystal (KTP) in an optical cavity, pumped by a frequency-doubled cw ring Nd:YAG laser. The interferometer sensitivity can thus be increased by a factor depending on the degree of squeezing achieved and on the detector quantum efficiency. Sensitivity increases by factors between 2 and 3 are predicted, and current performance is described.
