Effect of diffraction on squeezing in backward four-wave mixing

Božena Sobolewska, Jan Mostowski

Published Oct 1, 1989• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

A three-dimensional theory of four-wave mixing is presented. It is found that diffraction during the propagation of the probe waves has unexpected effects on the conditions for squeezed-state generation.

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.

The generation of a squeezed state via non-degenerate four-wave mixing in a system of three-level atoms is discussed. The condition for receiving a nearly perfect squeezing is shown.

Tran Quang, Vladimír Bužek

We have studied the generation of squeezing by nondegenerate four-wave mixing in a system of three-level atoms. The conditions for obtaining a large degree of squeezing in experiments with Rydberg atoms are given.

Quantum theory of nondegenerate multiwave mixing

Seng‐Tiong Ho, Prem Kumar, Jeffrey H. Shapiro

Recently there has been much interest in the quantum theory of multiwave mixing in atomic media, partly due to the promise of generating squeezed states of light using four-wave mixing (FWM) schemes, which need a quantized electro-magnetic-field theory to assess the effect of propagation loss and spontaneous emission on squeezing. In fact, squeezed states have recently been observed in an intracavity nondegenerate backward FWM experiment in an atomic beam of sodium.1

Effect of Probe-Conjugate Delay on the Spectrum of Squeezed Light

Alberto M. Marino, Vincent Boyer, Colin F. McCormick +1 more

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.

GENERATION OF SQUEEZED STATE LIGHT FROM LASERS VIA NON-DEGENERATE BACKWARD FOUR WAVE MIXING IN LASER CAVITIES

Shangqing Liu, XIA YU-XING, 中国科学院安徽光学精密机械研究所,合肥,230031

A scheme is suggested in this paper, by which squeezed state light can be radiated from lasers directly via non-degenerate backward four wave mixing in laser cavities. Full quantum theory calculations predict that the output light shows good squeezing.
