Enhanced optical communication and broadband sub-shot-noise interferometry with a stable free-running periodically-poled-KTiOPO4 squeezer
arXiv:0706.0874 · doi:10.1364/JOSAB.24.002702
Abstract
An intrinsically stable type-I optical parametric oscillator was built with a periodically poled KTiOPO4 (PPKTP) crystal to generate a stable bright, continuous-wave, broadband phase-squeezed beam. A 3.2 dB sensitivity enhancement of optical interferometry was demonstrated on weak electrooptic modulation signals within a 20 MHz squeezing bandwidth. This also realized a channel capacity increase beyond that of coherent optical communication.
