Multi-pass configuration for Improved Squeezed Vacuum Generation in Hot Rb Vapor
Mi Zhang, Melissa A. Guidry, R. Nicholas Lanning +4
We study a squeezed vacuum field generated in hot Rb vapor via the polarization self-rotation effect. Our previous experiments showed that the amount of observed squeezing may be l…
Why a hole is like a beam splitter--a general diffraction theory for multimode quantum states of light
Zhihao Xiao, R. Nicholas Lanning, Mi Zhang +3
Within the second-quantization framework, we develop a formalism for describing a spatially multimode optical field diffracted through a spatial mask and show that this process can…
Gaussian Beam-Propagation Theory for Nonlinear Optics - Featuring an Exact Treatment of Orbital Angular Momentum Transfer
R. Nicholas Lanning, Zhihao Xiao, Mi Zhang +3
We present a general, Gaussian spatial mode propagation formalism for describing the generation of higher order multi-spatial-mode beams generated during nonlinear interactions. Fu…
