Continuous-wave squeezed states of light via 'up-down' self-phase modulation

Amrit Pal Singh, Stefan Ast, Moritz Mehmet +2

Continuous-wave (cw) squeezed states of light have applications in sensing, metrology and secure communication. In recent decades their efficient generation has been based on param…

Beating the standard sensitivity-bandwidth limit of cavity-enhanced interferometers with internal squeezed-light generation

Mikhail Korobko, Lisa Kleybolte, Stefan Ast +3

The shot-noise limited peak sensitivity of cavity-enhanced interferometric measurement devices, such as gravitational-wave detectors, can be improved by increasing the cavity fines…

Gaussian entanglement distribution with gigahertz bandwidth

Stefan Ast, Melanie Ast, Moritz Mehmet +1

The distribution of entanglement with Gaussian statistic can be used to generate a mathematically-proven secure key for quantum cryptography. The distributed secret key rate is lim…

High-bandwidth squeezed light at 1550 nm from a compact monolithic PPKTP cavity

Stefan Ast, Moritz Mehmet, Roman Schnabel

We report the generation of squeezed vacuum states of light at 1550 nm with a broadband quantum noise reduction of up to 4.8 dB ranging from 5 MHz to 1.2 GHz sideband frequency. We…

Continuous-wave non-classical light with GHz squeezing bandwidth

Stefan Ast, Aiko Samblowski, Moritz Mehmet +3

Squeezed states can be employed for entanglement-based continuous-variable quantum key distribution, where the secure key rate is proportional to the bandwidth of the squeezing. We…

Squeezed light at 1550 nm with a quantum noise reduction of 12.3 dB

Moritz Mehmet, Stefan Ast, Tobias Eberle +3

Continuous-wave squeezed states of light at the wavelength of 1550 nm have recently been demonstrated, but so far the obtained factors of noise suppression still lag behind today's…
