Squeezed Light from 4-Wave Mixing: Toward Sensitive Imaging and Measurement Applications

Abstract

The field of quantum and nonlinear optics has long highlighted the demonstration of the unique features of the quantum world in the context of light. Taking advantage of the quantum properties of light to make advances in the context of metrology and measurement science has been the practical goal of our lab, and of the work supported under this grant. Our goal has been to investigate the quantum advantage in multiple-spatial-mode imaging applications as well as to work with the multiple frequency modes that are available through the generation of squeezed light from four-wave mixing (4WM) in atomic vapors. We have worked to improve low frequency squeezing and to demonstrate phase-sensitive optical amplification and its applications in a number of different scenarios.
