Quantum-enhanced laser phase noise filter

Quantum noise is the fundamental limit of laser phase noise filter. We cannot realize the effective quantum-enhanced phase noise suppression through simply utilizing amplitude noise suppression scheme. Here, we present the first experimental demonstration of a quantum-enhanced laser phase noise filter, achieved by employing a noise ellipse rotation phase noise readout technique combined with an excess amplitude noise suppression scheme. We address the primary limitations in the extracting of laser phase noise, and make the quantum enhancement via squeezed vacuum injection feasible. A maximum of 5 dB quantum-enhanced phase noise suppression is realized across the Fourier frequencies from 5 kHz to 60 kHz. The demonstration unlocks the application of squeezed vacuum state in laser phase noise suppression.

Bright squeezed light in the kilohertz frequency band

The largely technical noise of a free running laser is the fundamental limit for preparation of a bright squeezed light, especially within MHz band. We construct a universal and complete theoretical model for nonclassical stabilization, and propose a novel bright squeezed light generation scheme with assistance of a hybrid noise stabilization technology. The scheme assimilates a broadband passive noise stabilization to successfully extend the feedback frequency bandwidth of a nonclassical active stabilization to MHz band. Meanwhile, the technical noise suppression magnitude is further improved by 9 dB, which creates the prerequisite conditions for preparing a broadband bright squeezed light. Finally, a -5.5 dB bright squeezed light with a power of 1 mW and a squeezing bandwidth among kHz to MHz band was generated. The experimental results agree well with the theoretical one. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first demonstration of a milliwatt-order bright squeezed light across the kHz frequency band. The demonstration sheds light on potential applications of bright squeezed light in quantum metrology and might enable new concepts in the future.
