Squeezed light from conventionally pumped multi-level lasers

Abstract

We have calculated the amplitude squeezing in the output of several conventionally pumped multi-level lasers. We present results which show that standard laser models can produce significantly squeezed outputs in certain parameter ranges.

Squeezed light from conventionally pumped multilevel lasers

We calculate amplitude squeezing spectra for the light from a variety of conventionally pumped three- and four-level lasers. Hence we extend a recent prediction that a certain three-level laser can generate nonclassical light without the need for rigged pumping.

Squeezed light from a coherently pumped four-level laser

Timothy C. Ralph, Craig M. Savage

We calculate the amplitude squeezing in the output of a coherently pumped four-level laser and compare it with that from a similar incoherently pumped laser. We find that squeezing may be considerably enhanced by pumping with coherent light. The squeezing in both types of laser is explained by a simple statistical model.

Producing squeezed light from conventionally pumped lasers

Craig M. Savage, Alex Stevenson, Timothy C. Ralph

It has recently been discovered that the quantum theory of the laser allows conventional lasers to produce squeezed light.1-3 The physics of this squeezing is uncomplicated and robust. It relies on the fact that a sequence of Poissonian transitions having the same total mean transition time as a single Poissonian process have less time variance than the single process. Hence the sequence of transitions has sub-Poissonian time statistics. This can be transformed into sub-Poissonian laser pumping and hence into sub-Poissonian and quadrature squeezed laser light. We will discuss how this theory can be put into practice. The effects of mode structure and inefficiences will be assessed. Candidate lasers and progress towards their experimental realization will be discussed.

Squeezing from conventionally pumped lasers; a rate equation approach

Timothy C. Ralph, Craig M. Savage

The authors calculate the cavity photon statistics of conventionally pumped four-level lasers using a diagonal number state representation. The results are in agreement with those obtained from previous treatments using linearized Fokker-Planck equations and predict sub-Poissonian photon statistics at sufficiently high pump rates.
