Realization of quantum correlation transfer between twin beams by conditional preparation technique

A conditional quantum correlation transfer is demonstrated experimentally for continuous variables by employing two pairs of twin-beams states. In present paper, the quantum correlation of twin beams is indicated by loss coefficient or “gemellity”, which is the remaining noise on the intensity difference normalized to the shot noise level. The quantum correlation between two initial idler beams with loss coefficient of 0.4 was conditionally transferred from two pairs of initially independent twin beams with loss coefficient of 0.2. A theory of conditional quantum correlation transfer and comparison between experimental results and theoretical prediction are also presented. The experimental results agree with the theory well.

Investigation of the influence of extra noises in seed beams on continuous-variable entanglement generation

The influence of the extra classical noises in seed beams on the entanglement between the signal and the idler modes of the output fields generated by a non-degenerate optical parametric amplifier operating at deamplification is investigated theoretically and experimentally.With the increase of the extra classical noises in the seed beams,the correlation degree of the output entangled optical fields,which is scaled by the quantum noise limit,decreases rapidly.The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical calculations.     

Quantum interference of ultrastable twin optical beams

We report the first measurement of the quantum phase-difference noise of an ultrastable nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator that emits twin beams classically phase locked at exact frequency degeneracy. The measurement illustrates the property of a lossless balanced beam splitter to convert number-difference squeezing into phase-difference squeezing, and thus provides indirect evidence for Heisenberg-limited interferometry using twin beams. This experiment is a generalization of the Hong-Ou-Mandel interference effect for continuous variables and constitutes a milestone towards continuous-variable entanglement of bright, ultrastable nondegenerate beams.     

Transfer of intensity quantum correlation with twin beams

We demonstrate experimentally a protocol of transferring nonclassical quantum properties using two pairs of quantum-correlated twin beams in the continuous variable regime. The intensity quantum correlation from one twin beam is transferred to two initially independent idler beams with the help of a displacement transformation. It makes two originally independent beams exhibit an intensity quantum correlation of 0.8 dB below shot-noise level.     

Generation of non classical states of light by phase conjugation and parametric conversion

It is shown that oscillators using nearly degenerate parametric conversion or four-wave mixing in the phase conjugation geometry generate pairs of highly correlated photons. The intensity difference of the two corresponding light beams is then expected to be below the shot noise limit. This property can be used to produce intensity stabilized light beams below the quantum limit. The phases of the twin beams also exhibit interesting correlation properties which will be discussed. Moreover, the combination of the twin beams gives a squeezed state, which has been observed by other authors when the device is below the oscillation threshold. We will describe preliminary results of experiments performedabove oscillation threshold.     

Generation and application of twin beams from an optical parametric oscillator including an alpha-cut KTP crystal

Measurement slight amounts of absorption of light with accuracy beyond the standard quantum limit has been experimentally demonstrated. The quantum-correlated twin beams used in the measurement were generated from a nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator including an alpha-cut KTiOPO(4) crystal pumped by an intracavity frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser. The noise in the intensity difference between the twin beams was reduced by 88% below the standard quantum limit (SQL). The signal-to-noise ratio was improved by 7 dB with respect to the SQL of the total light employed in the experiment and by 4 dB with respect to that of the signal light.

Experimental generation of frequency-tunable entangled optical beams with continuous variables

Frequency tunable continuous variable (CV) entangled optical beams are experimentally demonstrated from a non-degenerate optical parametric oscillator working above the threshold.The measured correlation variances of amplitude and phase quadratures are 3.2 and 1.5 dB,respectively,below the corresponding shot noise level (SNL) in the tuning range of 580 GHz (2.25 nm).The frequency tuning is realized by simply controlling the temperature of the nonlinear crystal.
