Abstract

A procedure is developed which allows one to measure all the parameters occurring in a complete model [A. A. Semenov et al., Phys. Rev. A 74, 033803 (2006)] of realistic leaky cavities with unwanted noise. The method is based on the reflection of properly chosen test pulses by the cavity.

Leaky cavities with unwanted noise

A phenomenological approach is developed that allows one to completely describe the effects of unwanted noise, such as the noise associated with absorption and scattering, in high-$Q$ cavities. This noise is modeled by a block of beam splitters and an additional input-output port. The replacement schemes enable us to formulate appropriate quantum Langevin equations and input-output relations. It is demonstrated that unwanted noise renders it possible to combine a cavity input mode and the intracavity mode in a nonmonochromatic output mode. Possible applications to unbalanced and cascaded homodyning of the intracavity mode are discussed and the advantages of the latter method are shown.

Critical Kerr nonlinear optical cavity in the presence of internal loss and driving noise

A. Thüring, Roman Schnabel

We theoretically analyze the noise transformation of a high-power continuous-wave light field that is reflected off a critical Kerr nonlinear cavity (KNLC). Our investigations are based on a rigorous treatment in the time domain. Thereby, realistic conditions of a specific experimental environment including optical intracavity loss and strong classical driving noise can be modeled for any KNLC. We show that, even in the presence of optical loss and driving noise, considerable squeezing levels can be achieved. We find that the achievable squeezing levels are not limited by the driving noise but solely by the amount of optical loss. Amplitude-quadrature squeezing of the reflected mean field is obtained if the KNLC's operating point is chosen properly. Consistently, a KNLC can provide a passive purely optical reduction of laser-power noise as experimentally demonstrated in Khalaidovski et al. [Phys. Rev. A 80, 053801 (2009)]. We apply our model to this experiment and find good agreement with measured noise spectra.

Cavity QED of a leaky planar resonator coupled to an atom and an input single-photon pulse

Denis Gonţa, Peter van Loock

In contrast to the free-space evolution of an atom governed by a multimode interaction with the surrounding electromagnetic vacuum, the evolution of a cavity-QED system can be characterized by just three parameters: (i) atom-cavity coupling strength $g$, (ii) cavity relaxation rate $\ensuremath{\kappa}$, and (iii) atomic decay rate into the noncavity modes $\ensuremath{\gamma}$. In the case of an atom inserted into a planar resonator with an input beam coupled from the outside, it has been shown by Koshino [Phys. Rev. A 73, 053814 (2006)] that these three parameters are determined not only by the atom and cavity characteristics, but also by the spatial distribution of the input pulse. By an ab initio treatment, we generalize the framework of Koshino and determine the cavity-QED parameters of a coupled system of atom, planar (leaky) resonator, and input single-photon pulse as functions of the lateral profile of the pulse and the length of resonator. We confirm that the atomic decay rate can be suppressed by tailoring appropriately the lateral profile of the pulse. Such an active suppression of atomic decay opens an attractive route towards an efficient quantum memory for long-term storage of an atomic qubit inside a planar resonator.
