CW Parametric Amplificati<strong>on</strong> in a Cavity<br />

Another soluti<strong>on</strong>: use a cw less<br />

intense pump laser <strong>and</strong> a cavity<br />

which is res<strong>on</strong>ant <strong>on</strong> the comm<strong>on</strong><br />

signal-idler mode <strong>and</strong> enhances the<br />

n<strong>on</strong>-linear interacti<strong>on</strong>.<br />

‘Optical Parametric Oscillator’, which<br />

can oscillate above a given<br />

threshold.<br />

Maximum squeezing : at threshold, at<br />

zero frequency.<br />

Squeezing <strong>on</strong>ly depends <strong>on</strong> the<br />

escape efficiency T/(T+L)<br />

Ex. : T=10%, L=1% -->V=1-10/11~0.09 (~10dB)<br />

(Output coupler R,T)<br />

- R=1 for all the mirrors, but the output coupler R<br />

- Losses L (absorpti<strong>on</strong>, interfaces,..)<br />

- Pump power normalized to the threshold :<br />

c : cavity b<strong>and</strong>width
