Comparison of phase quadrature squeezed states generated from degenerate optical parametric amplifiers using PPKTP
Abstract:
Phase quadrature squeezed states at 1550 nm generated from degenerate optical parametric amplifiers (DOPAs) using periodically poled KTiOPO4 (PPKTP) and periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) are compared. A squeezing of 6.8 dB was produced from the DOPA using PPKTP with the phase matching temperature of 34.5 °C. By contrast, a measured squeezing of 4.9 dB was generated using PPLN with the phase matching temperature of 135.2 °C. The degradation of squeezing using a nonlinear crystal with a high phase matching temperature is explained by a theoretical model of DOPAs including the extra phase noise caused by the guided acoustic wave Brillouin scattering within the nonlinear crystal.
