Squeezing and EPR correlation in the Mirrorless Optical Parametric Oscillator

Abstract

This work analyses the quantum properties of counter-propagating twin beams generated by a Mirrorless Optical Parametric Oscillator in the continuous variable regime. Despite the lack of the filtering effect of a cavity, we show that in the vicinity of its threshold it may generate high levels of narrowband squeezing and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) correlation, completely comparable to what can be obtained in standard optical parametric oscillators.
