Description:
Quantum states of light with a macroscopic number of photons,
generally referred to as squeezed light, are entangled fields
underpinning quantum metrology (imaging, spectroscopy and
interferometry), secure communication (key exchange and
authentication), and quantum computing. Short, squeezed pulses are
an asset for the emerging field of quantum spectroscopy and
microscopy and are required to perform measurement of ultrafast
transient effects with sensitivities exceeding those available with
classical means. However, generating broadband squeezed states of
light with coherence times less than 100 fs, in a single temporal
mode, is challenging. This project aims at generating such states with
the novel concept of Fourier plane Optical Parametric Amplification, a
technology patented by the firm (Few-Cycle).
