Characterization of the IF Noise of a Submillimeter SIS Receiver

A fitting method is presented here for the accurate characterization of the IF noise contribution of a sub-millimeter SIS receiver. By fitting the mixer's IF output power response and junction's IV curve of an SIS mixer without LO pumping, we can obtain the IF noise contribution, the physical temperature of the isolator connected just behind the SIS mixer, the output mismatching of the mixer, and the total gain of the IF chain. Differing from a conventional method, which only uses the normal-state (linear) branch of the junction's IV curve, the method proposed here also includes the nonlinear portion around the gap voltage. The dynamic resistance in this portion is varied dramatically, providing us a good probe to characterize the output mismatching of the mixer, as well as other parameters.

Generation of Tunable Amplitude-Squeezed Lights

Frequency doubling of a Ti:sapphire laser with a KNbO₃ crystal has been used to generate wavelength tunable amplitude-squeezed lights in the second harmonic mode. The crystal is placed in an enhancement cavity designed to resonate only the fundamental mode, and the phase matching condition is achieved by changing the crystal temperature. Noise reduction of 1.8–2.0 dB below the shot noise level is observed between 427.28 and 433.76 nm.     

The stochastic dynamics of an array of atomic force microscopes in a viscous fluid

We consider the stochastic dynamics of an array of two closely spaced atomic force microscope cantilevers in a viscous fluid for use as a possible biomolecule sensor. The cantilevers are not driven externally, as is common in applications of atomic force microscopy, and we explore the stochastic cantilever dynamics due to the constant buffeting of fluid particles by Brownian motion. The stochastic dynamics of two adjacent cantilevers are correlated due to long range effects of the viscous fluid. Using a recently proposed thermodynamic approach the hydrodynamic correlations are quantified for precise experimental conditions through deterministic numerical simulations. Results are presented for an array of two readily available atomic force microscope cantilevers. It is shown that the force on a cantilever due to the fluid correlations with an adjacent cantilever is more than 3 times smaller than the Brownian force on an individual cantilever. Our results indicate that measurements of the correlations in the displacement of an array of atomic force microscopes can detect piconewton forces with microsecond time resolution.     

A multichannel shot noise approach to describe synaptic background activity in neurons

Systems driven by Poisson-distributed quantal inputs can be described as “shot noise” stochastic processes. This formalism can apply to neurons which receive a large number of Poisson-distributed synaptic inputs of similar quantal size. However, the presence of temporal correlations between these inputs destroys their quantal nature, and such systems can no longer be described by classical shot noise processes. Here, we show that explicit expressions for various statistical properties, such as the amplitude distribution and the power spectral density, can be deduced and investigated as functions of the correlation between input channels. The monotonic behavior of these expressions allows an one-to-one relation between temporal correlations and the statistics of fluctuations. Multi-channel shot noise processes, therefore, open a way to deduce correlations in input patterns by analyzing fluctuations in experimental systems. We discuss applications such as detecting correlations in networks of neurons from intracellular recordings of single neurons.     

Instantaneous measurement of field quadrature moments and entanglement

We present a method of measuring expectation values of quadrature moments of a multimode field through two-level probe “homodyning”. Our approach is based on an integral transform formalism of measurable probe observables, where analytically derived kernels unravel efficiently the required field information at zero interaction time, minimizing decoherence effects. The proposed scheme is suitable for fields that, while inaccessible to a direct measurement, enjoy one and two-photon Jaynes-Cummings interactions with a two-level probe, like spin, phonon, or cavity fields. Available data from previous experiments are used to confirm our predictions.
