Abstract

We propose a two-photon correlated emission laser to generate entanglement amplifier for bright light source. The coherence between upper and lower levels is generated in a Raman-driven scheme using two external classical fields. The proposed scheme is practically more suitable for the macroscopic entanglement of photons of the two modes of the cavity field.

Entangled radiation via a Raman-driven quantum-beat laser

We propose a scheme for the entanglement generation of two cavity modes using a four-level Raman-driven quantum-beat laser (QBL). The atomic coherence is generated by a Raman-type two-photon process. Two different sufficient conditions for entanglement generation have been investigated. The effect of cavity losses and strength of the driving fields on entanglement generation is studied for different initial states of the resonant cavity modes. The results are in agreement with the earlier scheme for the entanglement generation using a directly driven quantum-beat laser. We observe entanglement generation even for high cavity losses and with low strength of the driving fields. Further, there is no dipole-forbidden transition in the Raman-driven QBL system. Thus the proposed scheme for the entanglement generation is experimentally more viable as compared to the previous directly driven QBL system.

Double two-photon correlated-spontaneous-emission lasers as bright sources of squeezed light

We show that in a double two-photon correlated-spontaneous-emission laser, generation of squeezed light is compatible with atomic inversion by using the atomic coherence between two lower levels. The resulting device can yield, via resonant stimulated amplification, bright beams of squeezed light.

Three-mode entanglement and amplification in correlated spontaneous emission lasers

Wen-xing Shi, Xiangming Hu, Fei Wang

We propose a scheme for establishing three-coloured correlated spontaneous emission lasers and generating tripartite continuous-variable entanglement. The interaction of three cavity fields is formed by beating two of them in a two-channel Raman or two-photon transition and by correlating the two-mode beat and the third cavity field in the successive transitions. Using the sufficient inseparability criterion proposed by van Loock and Furusawa, we show that the three cavity fields are entangled when the numbers of photons are large and the saturation is weak. The upper limits of the photon numbers for the entanglement are dependent on the frequencies and amplitudes of the external coherent fields.

Continuous source of phase-controlled entangled two-photon laser

C. H. Raymond Ooi

We show that an absolute coherent phase of a laser can be used to manipulate the entanglement of photon pairs in two-photon laser. We present simple physics behind a general master equation for two-photon laser. Our focus is on the generation of a continuous source of macroscopically entangled photon pairs in the double $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ (or Raman) scheme. We show how the steady-state photon numbers and entanglement depend on the laser parameters, especially the phase. We obtain a relationship between entanglement and two-photon correlation. We derive conditions that give steady-state entanglement for the spontaneous Raman-electromagnetic-induced transparency scheme and use it to identify the region with macroscopic entanglement. No entanglement is found for the double resonant Raman scheme.

Two-mode single-atom laser as a source of entangled light

Martin Kiffner, Muhammad Suhail Zubairy, Jörg Evers +1 more

A two-mode single-atom laser is considered, with the aim of generating entanglement in macroscopic light. Two transitions in the four-level gain medium atom independently interact with the two cavity modes, while two other transitions are driven by control laser fields. Atomic relaxation as well as cavity losses are taken into account. We show that this system is a source of macroscopic entangled light over a wide range of control parameters and initial states of the cavity field.

Entanglement of movable mirrors in a correlated emission laser via cascade-driven coherence

Wenchao Ge, M. Al-Amri, Hyunchul Nha +1 more

We propose a scheme for the entanglement generation of two micromechanical mirrors through two-mode fields generated by a correlated emission laser source in a doubly resonant cavity. The coherence between upper and lower levels is generated in a cascade-driven scheme using two external classical fields. Two input laser fields are both tuned at the Stokes sidebands such that cooling and entanglement of micromechanical mirrors are realizable. We investigate two different conditions for entanglement generation. We show controllable entanglement of both two-mode fields and two mirrors in the steady state. The proposed scheme for the macroscopic entanglement generation is robust against environmental thermalization and in favor of a large cavity dissipation rate.
