Phase Conjugation of Squeezed Light

Shiqun Li, Ling-An Wu

Published Apr 1, 1993• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Phase conjugation in degenerate four-wave mixing with a squeezed input beam is investigated. We show that the phase conjugate mode is always super-Poissonian and never squeezed, but the combination mode may be squeezed to an extent even greater than the input probe wave.

Squeezed-state generation via forward degenerate four-wave mixing

Prem Kumar, Jeffrey H. Shapiro

Degenerate four-wave mixing has been suggested as a possible generation scheme for squeezed-state light. A recent analysis of the quantum effects of probe-conjugate loss in backward degenerate four-wave mixing has shown that such loss puts an absolute limit on the squeezing that can be obtained via this generation scheme. In this Rapid Communication we show that it is the counter-propagating beam geometry of backward degenerate four-wave mixing that makes it ill suited for squeezed-state generation. On the other hand, the nominally copropagating beam geometry of forward degenerate four-wave mixing is shown to alleviate the absolute probe-conjugate loss limit on squeezing.

Generation of higher-order squeezing of quantum electromagnetic fields by degenerate four-wave mixing

Xi-Zeng Li, Shan Ying

It is found that the field of the combined mode of the probe wave and the phase-conjugate wave in the process of degenerate four-wave mixing exhibits higher-order squeezing to all even orders. The degree of squeezing increases with the order N, and the higher-order squeeze parameter ${q}_{N}$ may approach -1.

Higher-Order Squeezing of Quantum Field and the Generalized Uncertainty Relations in Non-Degenerate Four-Wave Mixing

Xi-Zeng Li, Bao-Xia Su

It is found that the field of the combined mode of the probe wave and the phase-conjugate wave in the process of non-degenerate four-wave mixing exhibits higher-order squeezing to all even orders. And the generalized uncertainty relations in this process are also presented.

Higher-order squeezing of quantum field and higher-order uncertainty relations in non-degenerate four-wave mixing

Xi-Zeng Li, Su Bao-Xia, Chai Lu

It is found that the field of the combined mode of the probe wave and the phase conjugate wave in the process of non-degenerate four-wave mixing exhibits higher-order squeezing to all even orders. The higher-order squeezed parameter and squeezed limit due to the modulation frequency are investigated. The smaller the modulation frequency is, the stronger the degree of higher-order squeezing becomes. Furthermore, the higher-order uncertainty relations in the process of non-degenerate four-wave mixing are presented for the first time. The product of higher-order noise moments is related to even order number N and the length L of the medium.

We use a four-wave mixing process to generate relative-intensity squeezing. We are able to significantly modify the squeezing spectrum by controlling the relative delay between the probe and conjugate beams.
