Observation of quantum-correlated twin beams in cascaded nonlinear interactions

Opt Lett. 2024 Apr 1;49(7):1733-1736. doi: 10.1364/OL.514976.

Abstract

We report on the generation of twin beams through a cascaded process of optical parametric oscillation in a doubly resonant second-harmonic generation system. These bright beams exhibit strong quantum correlations, enabling the observation of up to 5 dB of noise reduction in their intensity difference below the standard quantum limit.
