Squeezed vacuum states from a whispering gallery mode resonator
arXiv:1905.07955 · doi:10.1364/OPTICA.6.001375
Abstract
Squeezed vacuum states enable optical measurements below the quantum limit and hence are a valuable resource for applications in quantum metrology and also quantum communication. However, most available sources require high pump powers in the milliwatt range and large setups, which hinders real world applications. Furthermore, degenerate operation of such systems presents a challenge. Here, we use a compact crystalline whispering gallery mode resonator made of lithium niobate as a degenerate parametric oscillator. We demonstrate about 1.4 dB noise reduction below the shot noise level for only 300 of pump power in degenerate single mode operation. Furthermore, we report a record pump threshold as low as 1.35 . Our results show that the whispering gallery based approach presents a promising platform for a compact and efficient source for nonclassical light.
