Abstract

Abstract In this work, we have examined the generation of squeezed states of light in a two-waveguide coupler in which Raman processes are active in one waveguide. Both waveguides are mutually linearly interacting through the field’s evanescent waves. We looked at a few interesting cases in which the system generated single mode squeezed states due to spontaneous and stimulated Raman processes. Under specific combinations of design parameters and phase mismatching conditions, squeezed states may take the form of collapses and revivals, or the second quadrature of the optical mode may oscillate completely below the short-noise limit of a coherent state.

Quantum Entanglement in Nonlinear Coupler with Raman Process

This paper examines the possible quantum entanglement generated in a coupler system consisting of two waveguides, where one waveguide is nonlinear and Raman-active, while the other waveguide only undergoes linear processes. The analytical-perturbative method is employed to investigate the production of entangled states in the given system. The Hillery-Zubairy criterion is employed to examine the possible quantum entanglement between the two fundamental pump modes propagating in both waveguides. We explore the generation of quantum entanglement under different initial conditions and critical design parameters. The simulation results suggest a continuous entanglement that remains until a particular distance of interaction is reached. As the linear coupling parameter increases, the relationship between the maximum reachable distance for entanglement and the degree of entanglement becomes more complex. The study reveals that entanglement experiences significant fluctuations when there is a substantial frequency mismatch between the modes.

Statistics of light in Raman and Brillouin nonlinear couplers

Jan Peřina, J Perina

Statistical properties of optical fields in nonlinear couplers composed of two waveguides in which Raman or Brillouin processes (with classical pumping) are in operation and which are mutually connected through the mutual Stokes and/or anti-Stokes linear interactions are investigated within the framework of a generalized superposition of coherent fields and quantum noise. Heisenberg equations describing the couplers are solved both analytically under special conditions and numerically in general cases. Regimes for nonclassical properties of optical fields, such as sub-Poissonian photon-number statistics, negative reduced moments of integrated intensity and squeezing of quadrature fluctuations are discussed for the cases of single and compound fields. General results are compared with those from the short-length approximation.

Raman and Brillouin couplers with losses and phase mismatch

Jaromı́r Fiurášek, Jan Peřina

We investigate nonlinear couplers whose operation is based on Raman or Brillouin scattering. A quantum approach is used. Strong coherent laser pumping is assumed and linearized Heisenberg-Langevin equations of motion are solved. The influence of linear coupling constants, losses and phase mismatches on the dynamical behaviour of the coupler is discussed. Quantum statistical properties of optical modes involved in the interaction are investigated within the framework of the generalized superposition of coherent signal and quantum noise. Most attention is devoted to the possibility of generation of non-classical light. It is shown that such light can be generated only in compound modes according to our model and influence of various parameters on the generation is discussed. Optimal conditions for the generation of squeezed light are found.

Quantum properties of kerr nonlinear directional couplers via phase-space representation / Rafael Julius

Rafael Julius

Quantum statistical properties of interacting optical fields in Kerr nonlinear couplers may be regarded as one of the most fundamental problems yet to be solved in quantum optics. As an analytical solution to this system is not always possible, a semi-analytic or direct numerical solution must be employed in order to obtain a more complete description of their evolution. This study investigates the quantum properties of four-mode couplers composed of two and four Kerr nonlinear waveguides, both with and without cavity set up via phase space representation. In these systems, the electromagnetic fields are described by their Hamiltonians, while the time-evolution of the systems are described by the Von-Neumann equation. Following standard techniques, the master equations for the density matrices of the systems are obtained and further converted to the corresponding classical Fokker- Planck equations using both positive P and Wigner representations. The corresponding set of Langevin Stochastic equations is then obtained from the Fokker-Planck equations by means of Ito rules. Finally, the systems are integrated numerically and averaged over many trajectories to get the relevant information. The effects of self-action nonlinearity, cross-action coupling and the initial energy of the coherent light on the evolution of the field quadrature variances are investigated. Furthermore, the influences of multimode interaction on the dynamics of the squeezed states are discussed. In this research, we show that the system may produce squeezed states in both quadrature variances for all calculated parameters. The multimode two channel model can provide better squeezing in contrast to the conventional device. The amplitude oscillation of maximal squeezing may be amplified by manipulation of the initial state of the coherent light in the first mode, and the range may be extended through multimode interaction. When the model is contained in a cavity, the system is able to generate better amplitude oscillations and squeezing range with leaf-revival-collapse-like behaviour; with the whole oscillation able to evolute below the standard quantum limit Regular photon transition and self trapping effects of the interacting modes in the four channels model are simulated, and squeezing is predicted for various initial intensities of the coherent field and nonlinear coupling parameter g. The cavity setup caused the system to undergo fluctuation amplification and the potential for different types of squeezing to be generated is observed. Depending on how we choose the interaction parameter values, the system may generate better squeezing in comparison to the cavity-less model.

Quantum statistics and dynamics of nonlinear couplers with nonlinear exchange

M. Sebawe Abdalla, Faisal A. A. El-Orany, Jan Pe[rcirc]ina

In this paper we derive the quantum statistical and dynamical properties of nonlinear optical couplers composed of two nonlinear waveguides operating by second subharmonic generation, which are coupled linearly through evanescent waves and nonlinearly through non-degenerate optical parametric interaction. Main attention is paid to generation and transmission of non-classical light, based on a discussion of the squeezing phenomenon, the normalized second-order correlation function and quasiprobability distribution functions. Initially coherent, number and thermal states of optical beams are considered. In particular, results are discussed with dependence on the strength of the nonlinear coupling relatively to the linear coupling. We show that if the Fock state |1〉 enters the first waveguide and the vacuume state |0〉 enters the second waveguide, the coupler can serve as a generator of squeezed vacuum state governed by the coupler parameters. Further, if thermal fields enter initially the waveguides the coupler plays a similar role as a microwave Josephson-junction parametric amplifier to generate squeezed thermal light.

Quantum statistics and dynamics of nonlinear couplers

Jan Peřina, Jan Peřina

We investigate both codirectional and contradirectional nonlinear couplers composed of two nonlinear waveguides operating by second-harmonic generation. We take into account possible mismatches inside the waveguides and between them. We calculate the photon number distribution, its factorial moments, quadrature and integrated intensity variances and quadrature uncertainty product taking into account the effects of transmission of light between waveguides. Incident beams are assumed to be coherent, squeezed and mixed with external noise. Second-harmonic modes are assumed to be pumped with strong coherent beams. We show that non-classical behaviour of beams generated by the nonlinear waveguides can be transferred between them and controlled by linear and nonlinear mismatches. In the contradirectional regime of propagation, asymptotic non-classical states can be generated.
