Time and frequency features of noise for a pulsed squeezed state field generated via degenerate four wave mixing

The time and frequency features of the fluctuations are studied for a pulsed squeezed state field generated by train of pulses produced by a mode-locked laser via degenerated four wave mixing. We propose an improved balanced homodyne detection scheme, which can be used to measure simultaneously the time variation and the frequency spectrum of the noise of in one quadrature component of the pulsed squeezed state field. The explicit expressions for the intensity and the noise as functions of time and frequency are derived. The features of the intensity and noise spectra are discussed. It is shown that the variation of noise with time exhibits a pulse train with reduced noise and the frequency spectrum of the noise displays some very interesting properties.

Optical properties of excimers in the field of intense laser radiation

The specific features of the luminescence of excimer molecules are analyzed within the model of a purely repulsive potential for the ground state in the field of intense laser radiation with due regard for the squeezed vibrational states. It is demonstrated that the luminescence band with the inclusion of the equilibrium phonons can be represented by a broad structureless asymmetric bell-shaped curve. The squeezed vibrational states substantially affect the frequency dependence of the luminescence intensity; more specifically, the luminescence band exhibits two maxima in the case of strong electron-phonon coupling. The stabilization of an excited electronic state in the course of luminescence at the fundamental frequency and generation of higher optical harmonics in the field of intense laser radiation is discussed.     

Kerr效应对非线性J-C模型辐射谱的影响

研究了Kerr介质腔中非线性J-C模型的辐射谱.导出了双模初始光场处于任意量子态时辐射谱的计算公式,给出了光场处于数态、相干态和压缩真空态时的数值结果,讨论了Kerr效应和初始场强对辐射谱的影响.发现在光子数态的情况下,Kerr效应使低频峰增强、高频峰减弱,并使各峰向右移动.在初始腔场为较强的相干态时,原子辐射谱明显地分成两个拱形的梳状峰群,Kerr效应的增强使左侧峰群增高,右侧的边峰受到抑制.在压缩真空态情况下,边带峰只出现在中心频率双峰的左侧,随Kerr效应和初始场的增强,边峰个数也随之增多.无论哪种情况都破坏谱结构的对称性,在强场条件下Kerr效应的影响更加显著.     

Generation of pulsed squeezed light in a mode-locked optical parametric oscillator

The generation of pulsed squeezed light using an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) is discussed. This mode-locked optical parametric oscillator consists of a nonlinear crystal in a cavity which is resonant for both signal and idler waves and which is synchronously pumped by the second-harmonic of an acousto-optically mode-locked cw Nd: YAG laser. The fundamental wavelength of the pump laser provides local oscillator pulses for balanced homodyne detection of squeezed vacuum pulses emitted by the oscillator when operated below oscillation threshold. Photocurrent noise reduction to 30% below the classical shot-noise limit is observed, corresponding to squeezing of the field to a level approximately a factor of two below the mean square vacuum noise.

A continuous-mode model of the mode locking in a pump-modulated laser

The active mode-locking process of the multimode laser with an external pump modulation is theoretically investigated in the frequency domain within the framework of the continuous-mode approximation. Intermode interaction and mode-coupling effects, including both AM and FM modulations, are naturally considered in a hierarchical equation of the mode components derived from the multimode Maxwell-Bloch equations. It is reduced to a continuous-mode equation that can be solved analytically in a stationary case, and used to discuss the spectral line shape and the phase dynamics of mode-components as a function of modulation amplitude and detuning of the modulation frequency. We predict a novel oscillation existing below the threshold of the ordinary complete mode-locking: The intensity of the total electric field yields a stable pulse train but its phase varies irregularly in time. This semi-locked state is characterized by a nonlinear chirping, an asymmetric spectrum, and drifting phases of the field mode-components.

Generation and characterization of multimode quantum frequency combs

Multimode nonclassical states of light are an essential resource in quantum computation with continuous variables, for example, in cluster state computation. We report in this Letter the first experimental evidence of a multimode nonclassical frequency comb in a femtosecond synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator. In addition to a global reduction of its quantum intensity fluctuations, the system features quantum correlations between different parts of its frequency spectrum. This allows us to show that the frequency comb is composed of several uncorrelated eigenmodes having specific spectral shapes, two of them at least being squeezed, and to characterize their spectral shapes.     

Diode laser noise-spectroscopy of low-frequency atomic fluctuations in rubidium vapor

We have observed resonant features in the spectrum of the fluctuations of a linearly polarized diode laser beam transmitted through a rubidium vapor cell, corresponding to the evolution of the atomic spin in the presence of a constant magnetic field. The observed resonances occur at a noise frequency corresponding to twice the Larmor frequency of ground state rubidium atoms and are due to two-photon Raman processes involving the carrier frequency and the noise sideband. We observed noise resonances for frequencies of the order of one MHz via heterodyne detection. Due to nonlinear Faraday rotation, we detected emitted light with polarization orthogonal to the incident field. The influence of the laser light fluctuations on the transmitted light noise spectrum was investigated by using two diode laser sources with different spectral bandwidths. The observed features are in qualitative agreement with a semiclassical theoretical model that treats laser fluctuations up to first order.     

Cavity Field Spectra of a Cascade Three-Level Atom Interacting with a Single-Mode Field with Kerr-Like Medium

The cavity field spectrum of a cascade three-level atom interacting with single-mode field with Kerr-like medium in the cavity is investigated. The numerical results for the initial field in pure number state, coherent state and squeezed vacuum state are calculated, respectively. It is found that the Kerr-like medium affects the spectral structure even though the initial field is in vacuum when the atom is in upper level. In the case of strong input field, the number state spectrum shows two peaks with different heights; and the superposition state spectrum shows a multipeak structure with an equal distance of two neighboring peaks. The spectral ＂central frequency＂ shifts away from the resonant frequency with the increasing of average photon number.     

Effect of Phase Shifted Frequency Modulation on Two Level Atom-Field Interaction

We have studied the effect of phase shifted frequency modulation on two level atom with field interaction using Jaynes-Cummings model.Here the frequency of the interacting field is sinusoidally varying with time with a constant phase.Due to the presence of phase in the frequency modulation,the variation of population inversion with time is different from the standard case.There are no exact collapses and revivals in the variation of population inversion but it oscillates sinusoidally with time.In coherent field atom interaction the population inversion behaves as in the case of Fock state atom interaction,when frequency modulation with a non zero phase is applied.The study done with squeezed field has shown the same behavior of the population inversion.

Generating EPR-entangled mechanical state via feeding finite-bandwidth squeezed light

Einstein–Podolski–Rosen(EPR) entanglement state is achievable by combining two single-mode position and momentum squeezed states at a 50:50 beam-splitter(BS). We investigate the generation of the EPR entangled state of two vibrating membranes in a ring resonator, where clockwise(CW) and counter-clockwise(CCW) travelling-wave modes are driven by lasers and finite-bandwidth squeezed lights. Since the optomechanical coupling depends on the location of the membranes, CW and CCW can couple to the symmetric and antisymmetric combination of mechanical modes for a suitable arrangement, which corresponds to a 50:50 BS mixing. Moreover, by employing the red-detuned driving laser and tuning the central frequency of squeezing field blue detuned from the driving laser with a mechanical frequency, the squeezing property of squeezed light can be perfectly transferred to the mechanical motion in the weak coupling regime. Thus, the BS mixing modes can be position and momentum squeezed by feeding the appropriate squeezed lights respectively, and the EPR entangled mechanical state is obtained. Moreover, cavity-induced mechanical cooling can further suppress the influence of thermal noise on the entangled state.
