GENERATION OF SQUEEZING LIGHT IN A LASER CAVITY

Abstract

Generation of squeezing light depends on the nonlinear optical processes. Its intensirv is usually low owing to the limitation of the conversion efficiency. In this paper, the general condition for producing squeezing light is given. According to this condition, the conclusion is obtained that a laser cavity with a nonlinear medium and a gain medium can sime-ltaneously amplify the light intensity and reduce the quantum fluctuation of one quadrature phase component of the light field.

Squeezing of radiation in nonlinear optical processes

Partha Sarathi Gupta

Squeezing of radiation is a purely quantum mechanical phenomenon which has no classical counterpart. This quantum effect is expected to manifest itself in optical processes in which the nonlinear response of the system to the radiation field plays an important role. The concept of squeezing started in mid 1980s. Since then there has been an enormous upsurge of interest in this field owing to its low noise property. In the present paper various aspects of squeezing of radiation are studied and possible means of generation of squeezed light in which the quantum fluctuations are reduced below shot noise limit are investigated. The amplitude of the electric field of a mode of an electromagnetic field is always associated with quantum mechanical fluctuations. Squeezing states are characterised by reduced quantum fluctuations in one quadrature component of the field at the expense of increased fluctuations in the other noncommuting component. A fully quantum mechanical approach is followed. In the present paper we intend to review different aspects of squeezing and higher order squeezing in higher order Raman processes as well as in multiwave mixing processes. A comparative study between different processes are made which will pave a way for easier generation of squeezed light.

Amplitude squeezing from second-harmonic generation in a laser cavity

P Garcia-Fernandez, Luigi A. Lugiato, Francisco Javier Bermejo +1 more

The authors consider the problem of second harmonic generation in an optical cavity which contains both the laser and the nonlinear crystal. They calculate the spectrum of the amplitude fluctuations in the output field, for the mode which is generated by the laser. They focus on the case that the damping constant of this mode is much larger than all the other relaxation rates of the system, and show that in this limit the spectrum is correctly described by the universal normal form for two-photon processes. Finally, they show in general that in the framework of linearised theories the spectrum of the intensity fluctuations in the output field reduces exactly to the spectrum of squeezing of the amplitude quadrature component.

GENERATION OF SQUEEZED LIGHT IN IDEAL CAVITY BY INJECTING ATOMS

Chang-qi Cao, Ding Xiao-hong, 北京大学物理系,北京100871

Two level atoms are injected into ideal cavity one by one to interact with the light field therein which intially is in coherent state. In one-photon transition case, the quadrature variance could be reduced by this means for suitably chosen interaction time t. But there exists some limitation, the squeezing will become worse if the number of times K is too large. In twophoton transition case, for large mean photon tumber N and optimum interaction time t = π/ g2, analytical formula for dependence of quadrature variance on N and K can be obtained. This formula shows that deep squeezing can be achieved by suitably chosen K. And the larger the N is, the stronger the achievable squeezing will be.

Generation of squeezed light upon frequency self-doubling in active nonlinear crystals with regular domain structure

A. A. Novikov, Лаптев Георгий Дмитриевич, A. S. Chirkin

A quantum theory of self-convers of the lasing frequency in active nonlinear crystals placed in a cavity is developed. The generation of nonclassical (quadrature squeezed) light upon self-doubling of the laser radiation frequency is studied in detail, with no limitations on the relations between the relaxation times of the inverse population and the polarization of the medium and the lifetime of a photon in the cavity. The fluctuation spectra of the quadrature components of the fields of the laser radiation and its second harmonic are studied in dependence on the pumping parameters and the parameters of the cavity. Numerical calculations are performed for a Nd:Mg:LiNbO 3 crystal with a regular domain structure.

Generation of squeezed states of light by intracavity harmonic conversion

Harry J. Kimble, J. L. Hall

In recent years interest in measurement science has been peaked by the possibility of sensitivity beyond the standard quantum limit. Much discussion has centered on states of the radiation field in which the fluctuations in one quadrature are reduced at the expense of the other (squeezing). We report an investigation of the production of squeezed states of light for second harmonic generation within an optical cavity resonant at both fundamental and harmonic frequencies.1,2
