Squeezing of intensity noise in nanolasers and nanoLEDs
arXiv:2005.00437
Abstract
The intensity noise of nanolasers and nanoLEDs is analyzed for conventional and quiet pumping of electrons into the active region. It is shown that nanoLEDs with Purcell-enhanced emission rates, enabled by extreme dielectric confinement, may be excellent sources of intensity-squeezed light within a bandwidth of several gigahertz. The physics of intensity squeezing is elucidated and it is shown that the parameter dependence can be explained by an effective Fano factor.
