Squeezed-Light Generation by Means of Traveling-Wave X^(2) Interactions in Lithium Niobate Waveguides

拟议的研究是1998财年授予的为期12个月的ECS-9710631的续展。这是西北大学(Kumar)和斯坦福大学(Fejer)于1998年2月开始的合作研究。这项研究的目标是利用铌酸锂波导开发紧凑而可靠的高度压缩光源。该项目包括以下活动：(1)改善从波导器件获得的压缩量，(2)实现一种新的Sagnac压缩几何结构，以及(3)演示集成的波导压缩器件。

The proposed research is a renewal of ECS-9710631 that was awarded for a period of 12 months in FY98. This is a collaborative research between Northwestern University (Kumar) and Stanford University (Fejer) began in February 1998. The research goal is to develop compact and reliable sources of highly-squeezed light using lithium niobate waveguides. The proposed project includes activities in (1) improving the amount of squeezing obtained from waveguide devices, (2) implementing a novel Sagnac squeezing geometry, and (3) demonstrating integrated waveguide squeezing devices.
