Quantum coherent control of highly multipartite continuous-variable entangled states by tailoring parametric interactions

The generation of continuous-variable multipartite entangled states is important for several protocols of quantum information processing and communication, such as one-way quantum computation or controlled dense coding. In this article we theoretically show that multimode optical parametric oscillators can produce a great variety of such states by an appropriate control of the parametric interaction, what we accomplish by tailoring either the spatio-temporal shape of the pump, or the geometry of the nonlinear medium. Specific examples involving currently available optical parametric oscillators are given, hence showing that our ideas are within reach of present technology.     

Solitons of singly resonant optical parametric oscillators

Single resonant parametric oscillators including intracavity quadratic and cubic nonlinearities are described in the mean-field limit with a cubic and quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. Following our model, simple design criteria are derived for the generation of solitonlike pulses and beams for singly resonant optical parametric oscillators.     

Convection-induced stabilization of optical dissipative solitons

In spatially extended convective systems, the reflection symmetry breaking induced by drift effects leads to a striking nonlinear effect that drastically affects the formation and stability of dissipative solitons in optical parametric oscillators. The phenomenon of nonlinear-induced convection dynamics is revealed using a model of the complex quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation with nonlinear gradient terms in it. Mechanisms leading to stabilization of dissipative solitons by convection are singled out. The predictions are in very good agreement with numerical solutions found from the governing equations of the optical parametric oscillators.     

Optimum pump-pulse duration for optical parametric oscillators

It is shown that for pulsed optical parametric oscillators there is an optimum pumppulse duration at which the threshold fluence is a minimum. The dependence of the threshold fluence on pump laser pulse duration is found to be substantial for lossy narrowband optical parametric oscillators. The pulse energy requirement for the pump laser may be substantially lowered by operating it at a pulse duration close to the optimum.     

Tunable,dual-wavelength interferometrically coupled continuous-wave parametric source

Generation of dual-wavelength continuous-wave (cw) radiation with independent and arbitrarily tuning, and indefinitely close spacing, using two cw optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) coupled with an anti-resonant ring interferometer is reported. The singly resonant OPOs, based on identical 30-mm-long MgO:sPPLT crystals, are pumped by a single cw laser at 532 nm. Two pairs of signal and idler wavelengths can be independently and arbitrarily tuned, with each signal (idler) pair tuned through degeneracy and beyond. Frequency separation between two distinct resonant signal waves from 7 down to 0.8 THz is demonstrated, and their overlap at 951 nm providing a frequency difference as small as ~220 MHz is shown. The OPOs independently provide a signal (idler) wavelength coverage across 870–1,000 nm (1,040–1,370 nm) and simultaneously generate idler powers of >1 W.

Field patterns in periodically modulated optical parametric amplifiers and oscillators

Spatially localized and periodic field patterns in periodically modulated optical parametric amplifiers and oscillators are studied. In the degenerate case (equal signal and idler beams) we elaborate on the systematic method of construction of the stationary localized modes in the amplifiers, and study their properties and stability. We describe a method of constructing periodic solutions in optical parametric oscillators, by adjusting the form of the external driven field to the given form of either signal or pump beams.

Stable topological spatial solitons in optical parametric oscillators

We predict that nearly resonant optical parametric oscillators support stable topological spatial solitons as a result of the interplay between diffraction and parametric amplification due to chi((2)) nonlinearities. Robust soliton stripes are observed in two transverse dimensions. Their stability is ensured by the phase-sensitive nature of the underlying parametric process.
