Amplification of a Squeezed-Quadrature using a Cascaded Traveling-Wave Phase-Sensitive Optical Parametric Amplifier

Abstract

We demonstrate a two-stage system of cascaded traveling-wave phase-sensitive optical parametric amplifiers, achieving 3.6 dB squeezed-quadrature amplification (0.9 dB deamplification) on top of 1.3 dB squeezing provided by the first stage.

Traveling-wave optical parametric amplifier: investigation of its phase-sensitive and phase-insensitive gain response

Sang-Kyung Choi, Ruo-Ding Li, Chonghoon Kim +1 more

We experimentally investigate the gain response of a frequency-degenerate but polarization-nondegenerate traveling-wave optical parametric amplifier that consists of a type II phase-matched potassium titanyl phosphate crystal pumped by a frequency-doubled Q-switched mode-locked Nd:YAG laser. Both the optical phase-sensitive and phase-insensitive configurations of the parametric amplifier are studied. Experimental results are in excellent agreement with the theory of an optical parametric amplifier when the Gaussian-beam nature of the various fields is taken into account. In the phase-sensitive configuration a gain of >100 (20 dB) could be easily obtained in the amplified quadrature, which is limited only by the available pump power. Because of gain-induced diffraction and phase fluctuations, however, maximum deamplification in the orthogonal quadrature is limited to <0.5(-3 dB).

By cascading two non-degenerate inline fiber-optic parametric amplifiers, we observe NF ~2dB (beating phase-insensitive quantum limit) at 16-dB gain for the second (phase-sensitive) stage after subtracting the excess noise from the first (phase-insensitive) stage.

We achieved all-optical quadrature measurement of continuous-wave over-3-dB squeezed light at up to 3.7-THz sideband frequencies using LiNbO3-waveguide optical parametric amplifiers, which showed high-gain broadband phase-sensitive amplification. This technique will lead to ultrafast quantum computation.

Spatial effects in traveling-wave squeezed-state generation and detection

Chonghoon Kim, Ruo-Ding Li, Prem Kumar

Recent experiments that have demonstrated the generation of quadrature-squeezed light in the traveling-wave configuration of an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) indicate that the observable squeezing is largely limited by the effects of diffraction in the parametric process1 and by the spatio-temporal mismatch between the generated squeezed mode and the local-oscillator (LO) mode employed in homodyne detection of squeezing.2
