Squeezed Thermal States in a Ring Resonator

Colin Vendromin, Marc M. Dignam

Published May 1, 2019• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

In this work we theoretically investigate the time evolution of a squeezed thermal state inside a side-coupled ring resonator. We optimize the input pump pulse duration and cross-coupling strength to find the maximally quadrature squeezed thermal state. Keywords-quadrature squeezed thermal state; ring resonator.

Optimization of a lossy microring resonator system for the generation of quadrature-squeezed states

Colin Vendromin, Marc M. Dignam

The intensity buildup of light inside a lossy microring resonator can be used to enhance the generation of squeezed states via spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC). In this work, we model the generation of squeezed light in a microring resonator that is pumped with a Gaussian pulse via a side-coupled channel waveguide. We theoretically determine the optimum pump pulse duration and ring-to-channel coupling constant to minimize the quadrature noise (maximize the squeezing) in the ring for a fixed input pump energy. We derive approximate analytic expressions for the optimal coupling and pump pulse duration as a function of scattering loss in the ring. These results will enable researchers to easily determine the optimal design of microring resonator systems for the generation of quadrature-squeezed states.

Modelling and optimization of pulsed squeezed state generation in a ring-resonator system

Marc M. Dignam, Marco Liscidini

We present a semi-analytic formalism for calculating the squeezing and antisqueezing spectrum in a channel waveguide side-coupled to a lossy ring resonator. Our approach first uses the semi-analytic evolution of the density matrix inside the ring up to the time where the squeezing is maximized. Then noting that a conservative approximate result for the squeezing can be obtained by ignoring the effect of the pump at later times, we calculate the free evolution of the field operators in the channel waveguide at all later times. We then calculate the quadrature squeezing spectrum in the waveguide, assuming that the measurement starts at the time when the squeezing in the ring is maximized. Using these results, we determine the optimum values for the pump pulse duration and amplitude and the ring-channel coupling for the pump and signal. We find that squeezing above 10 dB can be easily achieved in the channel for antisqueezing levels of less than 22 dB.

Squeezed thermal states: the result of parametric down conversion in lossy cavities

Hossein Seifoory, Sean Doutre, Marc M. Dignam +1 more

We theoretically investigate the properties and temporal evolution of squeezed states generated using degenerate parametric down conversion in lossy cavities. We show that the Lindblad master equation, which governs the evolution of this system, has, as its solution, a squeezed thermal state with an effective temperature and squeezing parameter that depends on time. We derive analytical solutions for the time evolution of quadrature noise, thermal photon number, squeezing parameter, and total photon number under different pumping regimes. We also find the steady state limits of the quadrature noises and discuss the g(2) factor of the generated light inside the cavity in the steady state.

Analytic solution to the nonlinear generation of squeezed states in a thermal bath

Paul R. B. Hughes, Marc M. Dignam

We model squeezed state generation in a lossy optical cavity in the presence of a thermal bath using the Lindblad master equation. We show that in the undepleted-pump approximation, the exact solution is a squeezed thermal state, where thermal photons arise both from loss and from the thermal bath. We derive a closed-form solution for the evolution of the quadrature uncertainty arising from pulsed degenerate spontaneous parametric down conversion in the cavity under the parametric oscillation threshold. We apply this solution under different pump conditions and show in detail how the thermal environment reduces quadrature squeezing as well as the second-order coherence function.

Squeezed-state evolution and entanglement in lossy coupled-resonator optical waveguides

Hossein Seifoory, Marc M. Dignam

We investigate theoretically the temporal evolution of a squeezed state in lossy coupled-cavity systems. We present a general formalism based upon the tight-binding approximation and apply this to a two-cavity system as well as to a coupled-resonator optical waveguide in a photonic crystal. We derive analytical expressions for the number of photons and the quadrature noise in each cavity as a function of time when the initial excited state is a squeezed state in one of the cavities. We also analytically evaluate the time-dependent cross correlation between the photons in different cavities to evaluate the degree of quantum entanglement. We demonstrate that loss in such coupled-cavity systems cannot be treated using simple exponential factors. Finally, we also derive approximate analytic expressions for the maximum photon number, maximum squeezing, and maximum entanglement for cavities far from the initially excited cavity in a lossless coupled-resonator optical waveguide.
