This study demonstrates that semiconductor lasers can generate frequency-dependent squeezing beyond standard amplitude measurements by mapping their complete quadrature-noise structure using a fully quantum Langevin approach. By uncovering previously hidden non-classical light properties, the research identifies optimal operating conditions for these devices in high-bandwidth quantum communication and sensing applications. The findings validate semiconductor lasers as viable platforms for generating complex squeezed states essential for advancing practical quantum technologies.
Nello and Colleagues Present Frequency-Resolved Squeezing Maps for Quantum Communication
Can semiconductor lasers produce squeezing beyond what standard measurements detect. Calculations reveal a previously unpredicted ‘hidden squeezing’ within these devices, accessed by mapping the full quadrature-noise structure of the laser field. This extends understanding of non-classical light generation and strengthens potential for quantum technologies.
Daniele Nello and colleagues report frequency-dependent quadrature squeezing in a quantum well laser, achieved using a fully quantum Langevin approach. The study reveals, for the first time, both frequency-dependent squeezing and complex squeezing within a semiconductor laser. A thorough analysis of the laser field’s squeezing map identifies optimal squeezing curves and examines the role of the linewidth enhancement factor. These results confirm semiconductor lasers as a key platform for generating non-classical light, potentially advancing applications in quantum communication and sensing. Previously unobserved, a hidden squeezing phenomenon was revealed within a semiconductor laser. Frequency-dependent squeezing extends the sub-shot-noise bandwidth beyond predictions based solely on amplitude squeezing.…
