Title: Bi-chromatic intensity squeezing using four-wave mixing in 85 Rb vapor

Journal Article · · Optica Quantum

We experimentally investigate four-wave mixing (FWM) in a diamond interaction scheme using 85 Rb vapor, and identify the optimal conditions for joint amplification and relative intensity squeezing of two optical fields: one near the 85 Rb D 1 optical transition ( λ  = 794.6 nm) and the other in the telecom O-band ( λ  = 1324 nm). We achieved a reduction of relative intensity noise by up to 2.6 ± 0.4 dB compared with the shot noise level, signifying the non-classical quantum correlations. The observed level of intensity squeezing is primarily limited by the available pump laser power, which constrains the achievable FWM gain. Numerical simulations show good agreement with the experimental results.
