摘要
压缩态光场和纠缠态光场等非经典光场是进行量子信息研究的基本资源,其中压缩态光场在低于量子噪声极限的量子精密测量中有着重要应用,而纠缠态光场被广泛应用于量子隐形传态,量子计算等领域。利用由不同类型相位匹配的非线性晶体构成的光学参量振荡器是制备不同类型非经典光场的有效手段之一。文章通过分析Ⅱ类周期极化磷酸氧钛钾(periodically poled KTiOPO_4,PPKTP)的准相位匹配条件,发现在改变其抽运光及注入种子光偏振的情况下,利用一种晶体可以分别实现两种类型的相位匹配,从而可以制备两种不同类型的非经典光场。理论预测的结果与已得到的实验数据基本一致。
Non-classical optical states such as squeezed state and entanglement state are basic sources for quantum information researches.For instance,squeezed state plays an important role in quantum measurement below quantum noise limit,and has also been applied in quantum metrology,quantum sensing and quantum imaging.On the other hand,entangled state is widely used in regions of quantum network and quantum computation,such as quantum teleportation,quantum key distribution,quantum cryptography,quantum random number generator and quantum memory and so on.Hence,generation of non-classical optical states is of great importance for quantum optics researches and quantum optical techniques development.Optical parametric processing constructed by nonlinear crystals with different types of phase matching is one of the efficient methods for generating different types of non-classical optical states.After analyzing quasi-phase-matching relations of periodically poled KTiOPO_4(PPKTP),we discovered that a kind of PPKTP crystal could meet two types of phase-matching relations and creates two types of non-classical optical states when varying the polarizations of the pump and the seed light.The result in theoretical calculation is in agreement with the previous experimental demonstration.
