Perfect pulsed inline twin-beam squeezers

Abstract

We obtain analytical results for the input and output temporal-modes of three different waveguided twin-beam squeezers. Double-pass configurations give perfect inline squeezers where the input and output modes are identical while single-pass configurations do not.

Perfect pulsed inline twin-beam squeezers

Martin Houde, Nicolás Quesada

Perfect inline squeezers are both spectrally pure and have identical input and output temporal modes, allowing one to squeeze an arbitrary input quantum state in the sole input mode on which the device acts, while the quantum states of any other modes are unaffected. We study theoretically how to obtain a perfect pulsed inline squeezer in twin-beam systems by considering three commonly used configurations: unpoled single pass, poled single pass, and poled double pass. By obtaining analytical relations between the input and output temporal modes from the Bloch–Messiah decomposition of the discretized Heisenberg-picture propagator, we find that a double-pass structure produces a perfect pulsed inline squeezer when operated in a frequency degenerate, symmetric group-velocity matched type-II configuration.

Waveguided sources of consistent, single-temporal-mode squeezed light: the good, the bad, and the ugly

Martin Houde, Nicolás Quesada

We study how variations in pump brightness, for identical profiles, affect the temporal-mode structure of squeezed states generated by three different waveguided sources. Double-pass structures give optimal results in terms of indistinguishability and spectral purity.

Waveguided sources of consistent, single-temporal-mode squeezed light: The good, the bad, and the ugly

Martin Houde, Nicolás Quesada

We study theoretically how the brightness of the pumps, with fixed profiles, affects the temporal mode structure of squeezed states generated by fixed parametric waveguided sources. We find that the temporal modes of these squeezed states can be partially mismatched and thus distinguishable, which is undesirable when using these states as resources for quantum computing or heralded state generation. By studying common frequency filtering techniques used experimentally, we find that although one can regain indistinguishability, it comes at the price of potentially greatly reducing the purity of the state. We consider three different source configurations: unapodized single pass, apodized single pass, and apodized double pass. We find that the double pass configuration produces optimal results with almost perfectly indistinguishable states over varying degrees of brightness.

Complete temporal mode analysis in pulse-pumped fiber-optical parametric amplifier for continuous variable entanglement generation

Xueshi Guo, Nannan Liu, Xiaoying Li +1 more

Mode matching plays an important role in measuring the continuous variable entanglement. For the signal and idler twin beams generated by a pulse pumped fiber optical parametric amplifier (FOPA), the spatial mode matching is automatically achieved in single mode fiber, but the temporal mode property is complicated because it is highly sensitive to the dispersion and the gain of the FOPA. We study the temporal mode structure and derive the input-output relation for each temporal mode of signal and idler beams after decomposing the joint spectral function of twin beams with the singular-value decomposition method. We analyze the measurement of the quadrature-amplitude entanglement, and find mode matching between the multi-mode twin beams and the local oscillators of homodyne detection systems is crucial to achieve a high degree of entanglement. The results show that the noise contributed by the temporal modes nonorthogonal to local oscillator may be much larger than the vacuum noise, so the mode mis-match can not be accounted for by merely introducing an effective loss. Our study will be useful for developing a source of high quality continuous variable entanglement by using the FOPA.
