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

拟议的研究是ECS-9711231的延续，该研究在1998财年获得了为期12个月的奖励。这是西北大学（Kumar）和斯坦福大学（费耶尔）之间的一项合作研究，始于1998年2月。 本研究的目标是利用锂酸盐波导来开发紧凑且可靠的高压缩光源。 拟议的项目包括以下活动：（1）提高从波导器件获得的压缩量，（2）实现新的Sagnac压缩几何形状，以及（3）演示集成波导压缩器件。

The proposed research is a renewal of ECS-9711231 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.
