Area of Science:

  • Quantum optics
  • Integrated photonics
  • Nonlinear optics

Background:

  • Squeezed light is a key quantum resource for advanced technologies.
  • Conventional methods for generating squeezed light are often bulky and complex.
  • Integrated quantum photonics offers a path to miniaturization and efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a monolithic, chip-scale platform for efficient generation of squeezed states of light.

  • Integrating a balanced homodyne measurement subsystem on the same chip.
  • Employing second harmonic generation (SHG) for parametric oscillator pump field generation.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a squeezing of 0.55 decibels and anti-squeezing of 1.55 decibels.
  • Demonstrated a chip-scale platform occupying one square centimeter.
  • Required only 20 milliwatts of input power for the pump field.

Conclusions:

  • The developed TFLN resonator platform enables efficient, chip-scale generation of squeezed light.
