New Poisson Sum Formula Derived by Squeezing Transformation in Quantum Optics

Using squeezing transform in the context of quantum optics and based on the Fourier series expansion we rigorously derive a new Poisson sum formula. Application of this new formula to the representation transformation of kq-wave function for describing electrons in periodic lattice is demonstrated. In so doing, the transition matrix element of harmonic oscillator in kq representation is derived.     

Correspondence between quantum-optical transform and classical-optical transform explored by developing Dirac’s symbolic method

By virtue of the new technique of performing integration over Dirac’s ket–bra operators, we explore quantum optical version of classical optical transformations such as optical Fresnel transform, Hankel transform, fractional Fourier transform, Wigner transform, wavelet transform and Fresnel–Hadmard combinatorial transform etc. In this way one may gain benefit for developing classical optics theory from the research in quantum optics, or vice-versa. We cannot only find some new quantum mechanical unitary operators which correspond to the known optical transformations, deriving a new theorem for calculating quantum tomogram of density operators, but also can reveal some new classical optical transformations. For examples, we find the generalized Fresnel operator (GFO) to correspond to the generalized Fresnel transform (GFT) in classical optics. We derive GFO’s normal product form and its canonical coherent state representation and find that GFO is the loyal representation of symplectic group multiplication rule. We show that GFT is just the transformation matrix element of GFO in the coordinate representation such that two successive GFTs is still a GFT. The ABCD rule of the Gaussian beam propagation is directly demonstrated in the context of quantum optics. Especially, the introduction of quantum mechanical entangled state representations opens up a new area in finding new classical optical transformations. The complex wavelet transform and the condition of mother wavelet are studied in the context of quantum optics too. Throughout our discussions, the coherent state, the entangled state representation of the two-mode squeezing operators and the technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators are fully used. All these have confirmed Dirac’s assertion: “...for a quantum dynamic system that has a classical analogue, unitary transformation in the quantum theory is the analogue of contact transformation in the classical theory”.     

Optical Fresnel Transform as a Correspondence of the SU(1,1) Squeezing Operator Composed of Quadratic Combination of Canonical Operators and the Entangled State

We study optical Fresnel transforms by finding the appropriate quantum mechanical SU(1,1) squeezing operators which are composed of quadratic combination of canonical operators. In one-mode case, the squeezing operator's matrix element in the coordinate basis is just the kernel of one-dimensional generalized Fresnel transform (GFT); while in two-mode case, the matrix element of the squeezing operator in the entangled state basis leads to the two-dimensional GFT kernel. The work links optical transforms in wave optics to generalized squeezing transforms in quantum optics.     

The two-mode quantum Fresnel operator and the multiplication rule of 2D Collins diffraction formula

By using the two-mode Fresnel operator we derive a multiplication rule of two-dimensional (2D) Collins diffraction formula, the inverse of 2D Collins diffraction integration can also be conveniently derived in this way in the context of quantum optics theory.     

Collins formula interpreted as wavelet transform

Based on the manipulation of input and output complex amplitude definitions of a light field in space domain, one direct relation between the Collins formula and the wavelet transform has been derived, namely, the Collins formula has been interpreted as a generalization of the wavelet transform. Then some elementary optical systems’ behavior has been described according to this derivation for example. This observation would be useful in various optical applications by virtue of wavelet transform's character.     

Propagation characteristics of elegant Laguerre-Gaussian beams in the fractional Hankel transform plane

The fractional Hankel transform (FRHT) system is applied to study the transformation properties of elegant Laguerre-Gaussian beams (ELGBs). An analytical formula is derived for the FRHT of ELGBs based on the definition of the FRHB. By using the derived formula and the definition of the kurtosis parameter, the analytical propagation expression for the kurtosis parameter of ELGBs in the FRHT plane is derived. Some detailed numerical examples are given to illustrate the analytical results. The results show that the intensity distribution and the kurtosis parameter of elegant Laguerre-Gaussian beams in the fractional Hankel transform plane not only depend on order p and index m of Laguerre polynomial, but also evolve periodically with fractional order p of fractional system.     

The degenerating diffraction far-field propagation properties of the conical double half-Gaussian hollow beams

The far-field propagation properties of conical double half-Gaussian hollow beams in the condition of Collins formula are studied. Because of the cone angle of this kind of hollow beams, the diffraction is compensated and the inner diameter is turning bigger by the rule of geometric optics as the propagation distance is increasing, whereas the degenerating diffraction phenomenon is turned out. The far-field intensity distribution of the conical double half-Gaussian hollow beams in the condition of in-Collin...     

Fractional Fourier transform for partially coherent Gaussian-Schell model beams

The fractional Fourier transform (FRT) is applied to partially coherent twisted anisotropic Gaussian-Schell model (GSM) beams based directly on the cross-spectral density. An analytical and concise formula is derived for the cross-spectral density of partially coherent twisted anisotropic GSM beams passing through a FRT system in terms of the tensor method. The corresponding tensor ABCD law for performing a FRT is obtained. The connection between the FRT formula and the generalized Collins formula for partially coherent beams is discussed. The formulas derived provide a powerful tool for analyzing and calculating the FRTs of partially coherent beams.

Realization of low frequency and controllable bandwidth squeezing based on a four-wave-mixing amplifier in rubidium vapor

We experimentally demonstrate the creation of two correlated beams generated by a nondegenerate four-wave-mixing amplifier at λ=795 nm in hot rubidium vapor. We achieve intensity difference squeezing at frequencies as low as 1.5 kHz which is so far the lowest frequency to observe squeezing in an atomic system. The squeezing spans from 5.5 to 16.5 MHz with a maximum squeezing of -5 dB at 1 MHz. We can control the squeezing bandwidth by changing the pump power. Both low frequency and controllable bandwidth squeezing show great potential in sensitivity detection and precise control of the atom optics measurement.     

Distillation of squeezing from non-Gaussian quantum states

We show that single copy distillation of squeezing from continuous variable non-Gaussian states is possible using linear optics and conditional homodyne detection. A specific non-Gaussian noise source, corresponding to a random linear displacement, is investigated experimentally. Conditioning the signal on a tap measurement, we observe probabilistic recovery of squeezing.

Applying time domain physical optics to acoustic wave backscattering problem

The interest in transient analysis of acoustic waves has been growing in recent years, due to the advance of wide-band sonars. In this paper, a transient analysis method for acoustic backscattering signals is proposed based on the time domain physical optics (TDPO). TDPO is formulated via a theoretical inverse Fourier transform of the conventional physical optics formula used in the frequency domain wave scattering analyses. A hidden surface removal algorithm using an adaptive triangular beam method and a virtual surface concept are adopted to explain shadow effects and multiple reflections among elements, respectively. Numerical analyses are carried out for two kinds of underwater targets: a submarine pressure hull and an idealized submarine, in order to validate the proposed method. The result of the submarine pressure hull shows good agreements between the proposed method and conventional physical optics based on inverse fast Fourier transform. Additionally, the result of the idealized submarine shows that the proposed method is efficient for finding highlights including their contribution to the whole backscattering signal.     

Quantum teleportation of optical quantum gates

We show that a universal set of gates for quantum computation with optics can be quantum teleported through the use of EPR entangled states, homodyne detection, and linear optics and squeezing operations conditioned on measurement outcomes. This scheme may be used for fault-tolerant quantum computation in any optical scheme (qubit or continuous-variable). The teleportation of nondeterministic nonlinear gates employed in linear optics quantum computation is discussed.     

Propagation characteristics of Bessel-like beams through ABCD optical system

Based on the Collins diffraction integral formula, this work focus to the study of the propagation properties of a Bessel-like beam through an ABCD optical system. As it is not easy to develop an analytical expression describing the transformation of the Bessel-like beams by an ABCD optical system, numerical integration method was indispensable to conduct this research. The characteristics of the transformation of Bessel-like beams by three optical systems: free space, Fourier transform, Fractional Fourier transform system and quadratic graded-index system are numerically examined and treated as examples of optical systems in this investigation. Some numerical results are carried-out to show how the superposition of multiple Airy beams propagates and transforms by an ABCD optical system.
