Nonlinear interferometer for tailoring the frequency spectrum of bright squeezed vacuum

arXiv:1503.03406 · doi:10.1080/09500340.2015.1080315

Abstract

We propose a method for tailoring the frequency spectrum of bright squeezed vacuum by generating it in a nonlinear interferometer, consisting of two down-converting nonlinear crystals separated by a dispersive medium. Due to a faster dispersive spreading of higher-order Schmidt modes, the spectral width of the radiation at the output is reduced as the length of the dispersive medium is increased. Preliminary results show 30\% spectral narrowing.
