Low-Noise Intensity Amplification of a Bright Entangled Beam
-
Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate a low-noise phase-sensitive amplifier (PSA) scheme that is able to amplify bright entangled beams at a high level intensity gain of up to 4.4. Moreover, we demonstrate that the PSA scheme introduces much less uncorrelated extra noise to the entangled state than the phase-insensitive amplifier scheme with the same intensity gain. This PSA scheme has potential applications for quantum communication in continuous variable regimes. -
