Abstract

We report generation of squeezed light at 860 nm by utilizing a subthreshold optical parametric oscillator with a periodically poled KTiOPO4 crystal as a nonlinear medium. At the pump power of 130 mW we observed the squeezing level of −9.55 dB and antisqueezing level of +16.36 dB.

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.

We observed -7.2 dB quadrature squeezing at 860 nm by using a sub-threshold 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 (BLIIRA) was not observed in the experiment. Also, we showed that the squeezing beyond -10 dB could be achieved with feasible experimental parameters.

Efficient generation of highly squeezed light with periodically poled MgO:LiNbO_3

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.
