Abstract

We demonstrate a method of stabilizing a Fabry-Perot Cavity using the Pound-Drever-Hall technique with an acousto-optical modulator, intending to filter the biphotons generated via spontaneous four-wave mixing in an ensemble of cold two-level atoms.

Enhancing nonclassical correlations for light scattered by an ensemble of cold two-level atoms

Lucas S. Marinho, M. Araujo, Wellington Martins +1 more

We report the enhancement of quantum correlations for biphotons generated via spontaneous four-wave mixing in an ensemble of cold two-level atoms. This enhancement is based on the filtering of the Rayleigh linear component of the spectrum of the two emitted photons, favoring the quantum-correlated sidebands reaching the detectors. We provide direct measurements of the unfiltered spectrum presenting its usual triplet structure, with Rayleigh central components accompanied by two peaks symmetrically located at the detuning of the excitation laser with respect to the atomic resonance. The filtering of the central component results in a violation of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality to (4.8±1.0)≰1 for a detuning of 60 times the atomic linewidth, representing an enhancement by a factor of four compared with the unfiltered quantum correlations observed at the same conditions.

High-efficiency interaction-free measurements using a stabilized Fabry–Pérot cavity

Naoto Namekata, Shuichiro Inoue

Using a Fabry–Perot cavity with high transmittivity, we have realized high-efficiency interaction-free measurements. The required stability of the cavity was achieved by employing the Pound-Drever feedback scheme without disturbing the measurement. For both an absorbing and a transparent object, the probability of correctly determining the presence or absence of the object (the efficiency of the interaction-free measurement) was found to be 88%.

Observation of Nonclassical Correlations in Biphotons Generated from an Ensemble of Pure Two-Level Atoms

M. Araujo, Lucas S. Marinho, Daniel Felinto

We report the experimental verification of nonclassical correlations for an unfiltered spontaneous four-wave mixing process in an ensemble of cold two-level atoms, confirming theoretical predictions by Du et al. in 2007 for the violation of a Cauchy-Schwarz inequality in the system, and obtaining R=(1.98±0.03)≰1. Quantum correlations are observed in a nanoseconds timescale in the interference between the central exciting frequency and sidebands dislocated by the detuning to the atomic resonance. They prevail over the noise background coming from Rayleigh scattering from the same optical transition. These correlations are fragile with respect to processes that disturb the phase of the atomic excitation, but are robust to variations in number of atoms and to increasing light intensities.
