Relative-Intensity Squeezing of High-Order Harmonic Twin Beams

Relative intensity squeezing (RIS) is emerging as a promising technique for performing high-precision measurements beyond the shot-noise limit. A commonly used way to produce RIS in the visible/infrared range is generating correlated “twin beams” through four-wave mixing by driving atomic resonances with weak laser beams. Here, we propose an all-optical strong-field scheme to produce a series of relative-intensity-squeezed high-order harmonic “twin beams”. Due to the nature of high-harmonic generation, the frequencies of the “twin beams” can cover a broad range of photon energy. Our proposal paves the way for the development of non-classical XUV sources and high precision spectroscopy tools in the strong-field regime.
