Investigation of residual amplitude modulation in squeezed state generation system
Abstract:
We present an analysis on how the optical parametric oscillator (OPO) detuning and the relative phase drift deteriorate the stability of the squeezed states, including the output power and the squeezed degree, and investigate the influence of RAM on the cavity detuning and the relative phase drift under different cases. Subsequently, the RAM is experimentally measured. In term of the measurement results, we perform a comparative study about RAM's influence on the cavity and phase locking in two cases. As a result, with the error signal extracted from the transmission of the OPO, the output power stability of the squeezed light is greatly improved. With the phase modulation imposed on the signal beam, the long-term stability of the squeezed degree is significantly enhanced.
