Degenerate squeezing in a dual-pumped integrated microresonator: Parasitic processes and their suppression

Hossein Seifoory, Z. Vernon, Dylan H. Mahler +3 more

Using a general Hamiltonian treatment, we theoretically study the generation of degenerate quadrature squeezing in a dual-pumped integrated microring resonator coupled to a waveguide. Considering a dual-pump four-wave mixing configuration in an integrated ${\text{Si}}_{3}{\text{N}}_{4}$ platform, and following the coupled-mode theory approach, we investigate the effects of parasitic quantum nonlinear optical processes on the generation of squeezed light. Considering five resonance modes in this approach allows us to include the most important four-wave mixing processes involved in such a configuration. We theoretically explore the effects of the pump detunings on different nonlinear processes and show that the effects of some of the parasitic processes are effectively neutralized by symmetrically detuning the two pumps. This yields a significant enhancement in the output squeezing quality without physically changing the structure, but suffers from the trade-off of requiring substantially higher pump power for a fixed target level of squeezing.

We perform an experimental optimization of squeezed light generation via degenerate optical parametric oscillation process in dual-pumped integrated microresonators. This process is sensitive to the power and frequency detunings of the pumps, and the threshold of this process depends on the spectral interval between pumps.

A theoretical model of low power microring for dual-pump squeezing-enabled photonics

Tongyao Wu, Qian Cai, Benjamin Hayden +1 more

Squeezed light is an essential nonclassical resource for quantum sensing, continuous-variable quantum information processing, low-noise optical communication, and new photonic computing systems. However, to make practical use of it, we need compact, low-power squeezed-light sources that can fit on a chip. In this work, we introduce a theoretical model of a dual-pump microring optical parametric amplifier for squeezed-light integrated photonics. The model outlines cavity-enhanced Kerr four-wave mixing among two pump fields, a signal mode, and the conjugate idler sideband. We use a linearized quantum Langevin approach under the undepleted-pump assumption. We derive the frequency-domain inputoutput relation and assess the output quadrature noise based on several factors: external coupling rate, intrinsic loss, pump power, signal detuning, nonlinear coefficient, and dispersion. First, we analyze a dispersion-engineered silicon nitride microring that operates in the telecom band. It shows that moderate external coupling offers the best trade-off between intracavity field enhancement and squeezed-field extraction. With the right pump detuning, the simulated silicon nitride resonator achieves over 10 dB of quadrature noise reduction at milliwatt-level input pump powers. We also compare AlGaAs and InP microring platforms, demonstrating that the squeezing performance is influenced not only by the nonlinear coefficient but also by the combined effects of material nonlinearity, cavity quality factor, loss, coupling, dispersion, and detuning. This framework gives design guidelines for low-power, chip-scale squeezed-light sources aimed at future quantum and AI-oriented photonic integrated circuits.
