Pulsed squeezed light

Book ·
OSTI ID:7001743
Generation of interesting quantum states of light, including squeezed states and number states, requires a large nonlinear interaction. An extension of standard generation and homodyne detection experimental techniques to the pulsed case is described. It is expected that by using mode-locked pulse trains as the pump laser and a portion of the pulse train as the local oscillator for the homodyne detector that corresponds to generation by the peak laser pump intensity in the pulse train. Viewgraphs 3 through 6 describe the analysis of pulsed squeezing. Viewgraphs 7 and 8 describe a pulsed LO homodyne detector which is working at present. This presentation is represented by viewgraphs.
