Abstract

We report generation of squeezed light at 860nm by using a periodically poled MgO:LiNbO3 crystal in a subthreshold optical parametric oscillator. At the pump power of 140mW we observed the squeezing level of −5.72 ±0.14dB.

We report on efficient generation of continuous-wave squeezed light and second harmonics with a periodically poled MgO:LiNbO(3) (PPMgLN) crystal which enables us to utilize the large nonlinear optical coefficient d(33). We achieved the squeezing level of -7.60+/-0.15 dB at 860 nm by utilizing a subthreshold optical parametric oscillator with a PPMgLN crystal. We also generated 400 mW of second harmonics at 430 nm from 570 mW of fundamental waves with 70% of conversion efficiency by using a PPMgLN crystal inside an external cavity.

The authors observed −7.2±0.2dB quadrature squeezing at 860nm by using a subthreshold continuous-wave pumped optical parametric oscillator with a periodically poled KTiOPO4 crystal as a nonlinear optical medium. The squeezing level was measured with the phase of homodyne detection locked at the quadrature. The blue light induced infrared absorption was not observed in the experiment.
