Description

Non-classical optical field generator with self-compensated phase
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of non-classical optics, and particularly relates to a phase self-compensation non-classical optical field generator.
Background
The compressed state light field is a non-classical light field which compresses the quantum noise of a certain orthogonal component to be below the limit of classical shot noise, and is applied to improving the sensitivity of precise optical measurement and weak gravitational wave signal detection due to the characteristic of breaking through the limit of the quantum noise; in addition, two beams of single-mode compressed light or one beam of dual-mode compressed light can be used for generating an entangled-state light field, and further applied to research of quantum computation, quantum information and quantum communication. Therefore, the research on a continuously and stably operated high-compression non-classical light source has become a hot spot of scientific research nowadays. As early as 1985, the united states bell laboratory first experimentally observed a state of compression using four-wave mixing; subsequently, an Optical parametric amplification technique (OPA) was proposed and becomes an important technique for generating a compressed state.
A low threshold stable optical parametric cavity becomes a critical component for generating compression. The optical parametric cavity is divided into a single-resonance optical parametric cavity, a double-resonance optical parametric cavity and the like according to whether the injected light resonates in the cavity or not. The single resonant cavity only resonates the fundamental frequency seed light in the cavity, and the pumping light passes through the nonlinear crystal once or twice and then is output out of the cavity. The seed light and the pump light of the double-resonance optical parametric cavity resonate in the cavity, and compared with the single-resonance optical parametric cavity, the nonlinear interaction of the pump light and the crystal is enhanced because the pump light passes through the nonlinear crystal repeatedly back and forth, so that the pumping threshold value of the optical parametric cavity can be effectively reduced, and the energy consumption of the pump laser is saved; meanwhile, the pump light resonance can effectively reflect the pump light which is not matched with the mode, so that the pump light outside the volume of the fundamental mode is prevented from heating the crystal, and the heat effect of the crystal is effectively reduced; secondly, the optical parameter cavity can be directly locked by utilizing the resonance condition of the pump light, the signal-to-noise ratio of the extracted error signal is higher, and the cavity length locking stability is greatly improved. Therefore, the double-resonance optical parametric cavity can easily realize the high stability, miniaturization and easy maintenance design of a low-power laser system, and is more beneficial to the preparation and practical application of a high-compression-degree compressed-state optical field.
However, the dual-resonance optical parametric cavity needs to strictly satisfy the simultaneous resonance of the seed light and the pump light cavity under a specific phase matching temperature condition, and thus the relationship between the cavity length, the crystal length and the phase matching temperature bandwidth needs to be considered more accurately. In the experimental operation, due to the influence of the nonlinear crystal on the dispersion characteristic, when the condition that the seed light and the pump light resonate simultaneously in the cavity is met, the corresponding temperature is usually deviated from the optimal phase matching temperature. The theoretical analysis of compression generation shows that the crystal is in a phase mismatch state at the moment, so that the nonlinear interaction strength is reduced, and the phase offset of pump light is introduced, so that classical gain reduction and compression angle rotation are caused, and the generated orthogonal component compression degree is reduced. In order to avoid the situation, the dispersion effect of the pump light and the seed light is compensated by inserting a dispersion compensation plate into a wedge-shaped crystal or a cavity, and the optical path difference of the two beams of light is changed by transversely moving the crystal or adjusting the angle of the compensation plate, so that dispersion compensation is achieved, and the superposition of the double-resonance temperature point and the phase matching temperature point is realized. However, the former will increase the difficulty of adjusting the optical cavity, and the latter introduces cavity loss, which is not good for the preparation of high-compression and high-stability compressed optical field.

The laser 41 is a laser capable of emitting laser beams of 1550nm and 775nm at the same time.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the compressed optical field generator includes a second phase shifter 45, an optical parametric amplifier 31, a PDH frequency stabilizer 46 and a temperature controller 37, and is configured to receive fundamental light and doubled light emitted from a laser 41 and generate a compressed optical field; wherein, the frequency doubling light emitted by the laser 41 is phase-shifted by the second phase shifter 45 and then injected into the optical parametric amplifier 31 together with the fundamental frequency light; the signal light emitted from the optical parametric amplifier 31 is detected by a single detector and then output to the central controller 35; the signal light emitted from the optical parametric amplifier 31 and the fundamental frequency light 48 emitted by the laser 41 and phase-shifted by the first phase shifter 49 enter two incidence surfaces of the first beam splitter 32 respectively, and are detected by the balanced homodyne detector 33, an output signal of the balanced homodyne detector 33 is connected with the spectrum analyzer 39, and an output end of the spectrum analyzer 39 is connected with the central controller 35, and is used for analyzing a detection signal of the balanced homodyne detector 33 to obtain the compression degree of the first compressed light field; the output end of the PDH frequency stabilizer 46 is connected to the piezoelectric ceramic on the cavity mirror of the optical parametric amplifier 31, and is used for locking the cavity length of the optical parametric amplifier 31 to the resonance enhancement point. Wherein the single detector for detecting the signal light may be one of the balanced homodyne detectors 33. In addition, a noise reducer 44 is included in the optical path, which is disposed between the laser and the optical parametric amplifier 31, and is used for performing noise reduction processing on the light emitted by the laser 41.
Specifically, the temperature controller 37 is configured to adjust the crystal temperature in the optical parametric amplifier 31, and the output end of the central controller 35 is connected to the input end of the temperature controller 37, and is configured to change the crystal temperature through the temperature controller 37, find the dual-resonance temperature of the optical parametric amplifier 31 according to the output signal of the single detector at different crystal temperatures, and find the phase self-compensation temperature of the optical parametric amplifier 31 according to the compression degree of the first compressed optical field at different crystal temperatures.
Specifically, the present embodiment provides a phase self-compensated non-classical optical field generator further comprising an analog-to-digital converter 34 and a digital-to-analog converter 36. The signal sent by the single detector is output to the central controller after passing through the analog-to-digital converter 34, and the temperature setting signal output by the central controller is output to the temperature controller 37 after passing through the digital-to-analog converter 36.
The phase self-compensation principle of the invention is as follows: the dual-resonance optical parametric cavity needs to strictly satisfy the simultaneous resonance in the seed light and the pumping light cavity under the condition of specific phase matching temperature, so that the relationship among the cavity length, the crystal length and the phase matching temperature bandwidth needs to be considered more accurately. In the experimental operation, the temperature at which the seed light and the pump light resonate simultaneously in the cavity does not necessarily satisfy the phase matching temperature condition. For example: in the experiment, the temperature of the nonlinear crystal is changed by adjusting a temperature controller, so that the 1550nm and 775nm of light beams realize double resonance in an optical parametric cavity, the temperature at the moment is T1, and the compression degree at the moment is measured. Theoretically, to generate compressed light with high degree of compression, the temperature should satisfy both the dual resonance condition and the phase matching condition Δ k ═ 0, where Δ k is a phase mismatch factor representing the difference between the injected multiplied light and the fundamental light, the generated compressed light wave vector. By adjusting the temperature of the nonlinear crystal with the temperature controller to vary around the temperature T1, it was found that more compression occurred, at which point the temperature was no longer at the 1550nm and 775nm double resonance of the beam. This phenomenon indicates that the temperature at which dual resonance of the light beams 1550nm and 775nm is achieved does not satisfy the temperature condition for phase matching in the experiment. Let the temperature satisfying the phase matching condition be TpWhen the phases are not matched, namely delta k is not equal to 0, namely the difference value between the injected fundamental frequency light, the frequency doubling light and the generated compressed light wave vector is not zero, and the momentum conservation and energy conservation conditions are not met among the three photons. Let delta T1=T1-TpCausing a phase change amount delta1=vδT1Corresponding compression angle of theta1Resulting in a reduced degree of compression projected onto the orthogonal component. If the temperature of the nonlinear crystal is finely adjusted by the temperature controller, the temperature approaches the temperature T of phase matchingPSetting the adjusted temperature to be T2. At this point, the temperature change introduces new variations, one of which is the amount of detuning Δ introduced by the beams 1550nm and 775nm not resonating2=vδT2τ, where δ T2=T2-T1Corresponding compression angle of theta2(ii) a The other is due to the temperature T2Phase variation delta introduced by phase mismatch caused by not meeting phase matching condition3=vδT3Wherein δ T3=T2-TPCorresponding compression angle of theta3. If the temperature of the nonlinear crystal is adjusted by the temperature controller, the compression angle theta is adjusted2And theta3Compensating each other, i.e. theta23When the compression angle is 0, namely complete compensation is realized between the two compression angles, as shown in fig. 2, namely phase self-compensation is realized, a larger compression degree can be obtained, and the measurement value of the compression degree of the non-classical optical field is higher and more accurate.
Specifically, in this embodiment, a dual-resonance temperature measurement module is disposed in the central controller; as shown in fig. 3, the dual resonance temperature measurement module is configured to perform the following procedure: outputting a control signal to set the temperature setting value of the temperature controller at a certain initial temperature T0Then, the initial temperature may be a double resonance temperature estimated value obtained through other ways, and after the temperature of the temperature controller is stabilized, the peak-to-peak value a of the gain curve obtained by the detection of the single detector is recorded1(ii) a Then the output signal changes the temperature setting value of the temperature controller, a new gain curve is formed after the temperature of the temperature controller is stable, and the peak value a of the gain curve obtained by the detection of the single detector is recorded2And the last peak-to-peak value a1Comparing, and selecting a larger value from the values to be assigned to b; outputting the signal again to change the temperature setting value of the temperature controller, changing the circulation until the maximum peak value is found, and then taking the temperature corresponding to the maximum peak value as the double-resonance temperature T1And (7) recording. In FIG. 3, b represents the larger of the two peak-to-peak values, aiRepresenting the peak-to-peak value of the gain curve.
Specifically, in this embodiment, when the dual-resonance temperature measurement module adjusts the temperature setting value of the temperature controller, the change amount of the temperature setting value of the temperature controller is 0.01 to 0.1 ℃. In addition, the initial temperature set value T of the temperature controller01The laser wavelength and the crystal characteristic can be specifically set according to the crystal characteristic and the laser wavelength, for example, in this embodiment, the laser 41 is a laser capable of emitting 1550nm and 775nm laser simultaneously, the crystal is a PPKTP nonlinear crystal, and the initial temperature setting value T of the temperature controller042.6 ℃. Specifically, in the present embodiment, after the fundamental light (seed light) 42 and the frequency-doubled light 43 outputted from the laser 41 pass through the noise reducer 44, the frequency-doubled light 43 is phase-shifted by the phase shifter 45, injected into the optical parametric amplifier 31 together with the fundamental light (seed light) 42, and the cavity length is locked by the PDH frequency stabilization technique 46Until resonance enhancement, the output signal light 47, i.e. compressed light, is blocked by the light blocking sheet 40 to the fundamental frequency light 48, is detected by the balanced homodyne detector 33, the direct current signal of one of the detectors is connected to the 34 analog-to-digital converter AD, the gain curve is converted into data by the 34 analog-to-digital converter AD, the peak-to-peak value is input into the central controller 35, the central controller 35 records the data, then the data is transmitted to the 36 digital-to-analog converter DA, the 36 digital-to-analog converter DA is connected with the temperature controller 37, the central controller changes the crystal temperature by the temperature controller 37 to form a new gain curve, the central controller 35 records a new peak-to-peak value, compares the new peak-to-peak value with the previous peak-to-peak value to select a larger value, the temperature. Temperature T at this time1Namely the temperature for realizing double resonance of the two beams of light of the fundamental frequency light omega and the frequency doubling light 2 omega in the optical parametric cavity.
In addition, a phase self-compensation module is arranged in the central controller; as shown in fig. 4, the phase self-compensation module is configured to perform the following procedures: outputting a control signal to set the control temperature of the temperature controller at the double resonance temperature T1Next, recording the optical field compression value output by the spectrum analyzer; then outputting a control signal to change the temperature setting value of the temperature controller in a small amplitude manner, and recording the optical field compression value output by the spectrum analyzer at the corresponding temperature; repeating the operation for multiple times, recording to obtain multiple groups of temperature setting values and light field compression values at corresponding temperatures, performing curve fitting, and finding the temperature corresponding to the minimum compression on the curve as the phase self-compensation temperature TP. In FIG. 4, d represents the lesser of the two light-field compressibility values, ciRepresenting the light field compressibility value.
Specifically, in this embodiment, when the phase self-compensation module adjusts the temperature setting value of the temperature controller, the change amount of the temperature setting value of the temperature controller at each time is 0.01-0.1 ℃.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, after removing the light-blocking sheet 40, the signal light 47 interferes with the local light 48 phase-shifted by the phase shifter 49 at the first beam splitter 32, and is detected by the balanced homodyne detector 33, the ac signals of the two detectors 33 are input to the subtracter 38, the subtracter 38 is connected to the input terminal of the spectrum analyzer SA 39, and the frequency spectrum analyzer SA 39 is input to the subtracter 38The compression is measured by the spectrum analyzer SA, the output end of the spectrum analyzer SA is connected with a 34 analog-to-digital converter AD, the 34 analog-to-digital converter AD converts an image into data, the minimum value is input into a central controller 35, the central controller 35 records the data and then transmits the data to a 36 digital-to-analog converter DA, the temperature of the crystal is changed through a temperature controller 37, the central controller 35 records new data, the new data is compared with the previous data, the smaller value is selected, the process is circulated until the minimum value is found, and the corresponding temperature is the temperature T of phase self-compensation at the momentP.
