ECS-9710631/9711231 Prem Kumar/Martin费耶尔 该方案是利用锂酸盐波导来开发紧凑可靠的高压缩光源。 所提出的实验依赖于行波简并二次谐波产生和光学参量放大，利用锂的非线性。 该小组已经做了理论工作，在这个问题上，并预测压缩的基本和二次谐波领域，即使在存在相位失配。 本论文的工作是制作波导器件并验证理论预测。 一种可以产生压缩光的集成器件，以加速将这种研究转化为实际应用的器件。 这种光源的发展将消除压缩光应用的一个重要障碍。 PI提交了一份修订的工作说明和相应的一年预算。 方案主任审查了工作说明和订正预算。 斯坦福大学也提交了提案，项目说明相同，但与斯坦福大学拟开展的工作有关的预算细节。 斯坦福大学提案所寻求的资金作为一项次级裁决列入预算。

ECS-9710631/9711231 Prem Kumar/Martin Fejer This proposal is to develop compact and reliable sources of highly-squeezed light using lithium niobate waveguides. The proposed experiments rely on traveling-wave degenerate second-harmonic generation and optical pamaretric amplification exploiting the (2 nonlinearity of lithium niobate. The group has done a theoretical work on this subject and predicting the squeezing of both the fundamental and the second harmonic fields even in the presence of phase mismatch. The work in the present proposal is to build the waveguide devices and to verify the theoretical prediction. An integrated device that can produce squeezed light to expedite the transfer of such research into devices for practical applications. The development of such a source would remove an important barriers to the application of squeezed light. The PI has submitted a revised work statement and the corresponding budget for one year. The Program Directors have reviewed the work statement and the revised budget. The proposal is also being submitted from Stanford University with an identical project description, but with budgetary details relevant to the work to be carried out a Stanford. The funds sought by the Stanford proposal are included in the budget as a subaward.
