Quantum Noise and Squeezed Light by Dipolaritons in the Nonlinear Regime

Abstract

Abstract The quantum noise and the squeezing effect, in the transmitted light, by a dipolariton system formed by a double quantum wells microcavity in the strong coupling regime are investigated. It is shown that the indirect exciton nonlinearity generates stronger squeezing than the direct exciton nonlinearity, nevertheless produces very high fluctuations for some particular detunings and nonlinearities. The system shows a considerable sensitivity to the thermal excitations where the coupling to the direct and indirect excitonic thermal baths progressively destroys the nonclassical effect. Despite that, indirect exciton squeezing manifests a higher resistance against the thermal bath temperature. As a result, the emission field is strongly governed by the indirect excitons, varying between robust squeezing and excess noise.

Nonlinear dynamics in a dipolariton cavity with a squeezed vacuum

Houcem Jabri, Hichem Eleuch

Dipolaritons are quasiparticles formed in double quantum wells’ microcavities driven by a coherent field. Here, we investigate the correlations and the quantum fluctuations in the light emitted by a dipolariton cavity pumped by a laser. By studying the noise spectrum in the strong and weak coupling regimes, we show that the squeezing generated by the direct and indirect excitonic nonlinearities is strongly enhanced by coupling the system to a squeezed vacuum. As a consequence, this coupling transforms the statistical light propriety from coherent to highly squeezed states, depending on the squeeze parameter strength. Furthermore, the squeezed reservoir stabilizes the nonclassical effect even with the high fluctuations caused by indirect exciton nonlinearity. It turns out that the combination of excitonic nonlinearities and squeezed vacuum is a good solution for producing stable and strong squeezing.

Dipolariton Systems: Quantum Noise and Squeezed Light by Dipolaritons in the Nonlinear Regime (Ann. Phys. 12/2019)

Houcem Jabri, Hichem Eleuch

Dipolaritons are quasiparticles formed in double quantum wells microcavities. Due to direct and indirect excitonic nonlinearities, the system generates a strong thermal resistant squeezing of light, as demonstrated in article number 1900253 by Houcem Jabri and Hichem Eleuch. Depending on the electron tunneling, the nonclassical effect attains its maximum at the limit of the pulsed tunneling regime. This scheme paves the way to new sources of strong squeezed light, offering other possibilities and alternatives.

Optical Kerr nonlinearity in quantum-well microcavities: From polariton to dipolariton

Houcem Jabri, Hichem Eleuch

In this paper, we investigate the nonlinear optical properties and photon correlations in a cavity containing quantum wells and interacting with a third-order nonlinear medium. More precisely, we study the interaction of the photonic Kerr nonlinearity with polariton and dipolariton quasiparticles in thermal environments. The optical bistability, the intensity spectrum, and the squeezing spectrum of the transmitted radiation are analyzed. It is shown that the regime of the bistability is reached in the dipolariton cavity faster than attained by the polariton system. Furthermore, the increase of the coupling with the wells reduces the squeezing. More interestingly, it turns out that the additional interactions arising in the dipolariton cavity, between direct and indirect excitons, slow down the variation of the squeezing. As a consequence, dipolaritons offer a greater margin of squeezed light than polaritons, and also than the ${\ensuremath{\chi}}^{(3)}$ medium in the absence of quantum wells. Moreover, the dipolariton system is found to be much more robust against the bath temperature in the weak-coupling regime.

Quantum fluctuations inside a microcavity with a pair of quantum wells: linear regime

Houcem Jabri, Hichem Eleuch

Quantum fluctuations of a system formed by two quantum wells inside a microcavity are investigated. The noise spectrum and the autocorrelation function are analyzed, and analytical expressions are derived. It is shown here that the noises are equally balanced over direct and indirect exciton thermal baths. The double quantum well system induces more fluctuations compared to the system formed by a single quantum well inside a microcavity. Unlike the latter system, the autocorrelation function of the cavity depends on the exciton thermal bath populations. It turns out that the photon detection probability is affected by coupling with the indirect exciton thermal bath.

Interaction of a dipolariton system with squeezed light from a parametric down-conversion process

Houcem Jabri, Hichem Eleuch

We investigate the photon statistics of the light transmitted by a dipolariton system in interaction with a squeezed light from a degenerate optical parametric oscillator. We show that the presence of the squeezed photons in the cavity considerably increases the excitonic intensities and leads to a narrowing of the widths and a duplication of the intensity peaks. Our study reveals that the outgoing light exhibits a strong thermally resistant squeezing. Furthermore, it turns out that the weak-coupling regime is favorable to a perfect squeezing depending on the detunings and the strength of the squeezed pump. For a weak coherent driving field, the proposed system presents a bunching effect of the emitted light.

Squeezed light in a semiconductor microcavity

Xuan Zuo, Zi-Xu Lu, Zhiyuan Fan +2 more

Squeezed light is a particularly useful quantum resource, which finds broad applications in quantum information processing, quantum metrology and sensing, and biological measurements. Here we show how to produce squeezed light exploiting the strong exciton–phonon nonlinear interaction in a semiconductor microcavity. The semiconductor microcavity is embedded with a quantum well, which supports both linear and nonlinear interactions among excitons, phonons, and cavity photons. We show that the strong exciton–phonon deformation potential interaction can induce a quadrature-squeezed cavity output field, and further reveal an important role of the exciton–photon coupling in engineering the squeezing spectrum and improving the robustness of the squeezing against thermal noise. Our results indicate that substantial optical squeezing in a broad band, up to tens of gigahertz, can be achieved using currently available parameters.
