Approaching Quantum-Limited Amplification with Large Gain Catalyzed by Optical Parametric Amplifier Medium

【摘要】 Amplifier is at the heart of experiments carrying out the precise measurement of a weak signal. An idea quantum amplifier should have a large gain and minimum added noise simultaneously. Here, we consider the quantum measurement properties of the cavity with the OPA medium in the op-amp mode to amplify an input signal. We show that our nonlinear-cavity quantum amplifier has large gain in the single-value stable regime and achieves quantum limit unconditionally.更多还原
