Amplification of entangled states of squeezed light

Two amplification schemes are considered for entangled squeezed states of light, including an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen entangled state of continuous variables (EPR pair): propagation in a nonlinear medium and reflection from a cavity. Both schemes make use of a parametric process that can be implemented in a periodic nonlinear medium. The existence of an integral of motion makes it possible to amplify an entangled state of light while preserving the initial entanglement. To analyze the cavity-based scheme, a master equation is derived for the density matrix of the field inside the cavity. The feasibility of amplification that preserves entanglement of an EPR pair is demonstrated for this scheme.
