Ultrashort-pulse-pumped, single-mode type-0 squeezers in lithium niobate nanophotonics
Martin Houde, Liam Beaudoin, Robert Kwolek +3
We present design principles for ultrashort-pulse, type-0 phase-matched optical parametric amplifiers to generate and measure spectrally pure degenerate squeezed light. We consider…
Gain-induced group delay in spontaneous parametric down-conversion
Guillaume Thekkadath, Martin Houde, Duncan England +4
Strongly-driven nonlinear optical processes such as spontaneous parametric down-conversion and spontaneous four-wave mixing can produce multiphoton nonclassical beams of light whic…
Matrix decompositions in Quantum Optics: Takagi/Autonne, Bloch-Messiah/Euler, Iwasawa, and Williamson
Martin Houde, Will McCutcheon, Nicolás Quesada
In this note we summarize four important matrix decompositions commonly used in quantum optics, namely the Takagi/Autonne, Bloch-Messiah/Euler, Iwasawa, and Williamson decompositio…
Perfect pulsed inline twin-beam squeezers
Martin Houde, Nicolás Quesada
Perfect inline squeezers are both spectrally pure and have identical input and output temporal modes, allowing one to squeeze an arbitrary input quantum state in the sole input mod…
