Squeezed Light From 4-Wave Mixing: Toward Sensitive Imaging And Measurement Applications

Abstract

The objective is to: (1) characterize the low-frequency squeezing properties of the 4WM source and apply this source to photodiode calibrations and direct image subtraction on a camera; (2) investigate the low-frequency performance of the phase-sensitive amplifier configuration, which produces single-mode quadrature squeezing; and (3) interface the 4WM source with a gradient echo memory.
