Abstract

We demonstrate experimentally the simultaneous generation and detection of two types of continuous variable nonclassical states from one type-0 phase-matching optical parametric amplifcation (OPA) and subsequent two ring flter cavities (RFCs). The output feld of the OPA includes the baseband ω0 and sideband modes ω0± nωf subjects to the cavity resonance condition, which are separated by two cascaded RFCs. The first RFC resonates with half the pump wavelength ω0 and the transmitted baseband component is a squeezed state. The refected felds of the frst RFC, including the sideband modes ω0± ωf, are separated by the second RFC, construct Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen entangled state. All freedoms, including the filter cavities for sideband separation and relative phases for the measurements of these sidebands, are actively stabilized. The noise variance of squeezed states is 10.2 dB below the shot noise limit (SNL), the correlation variances of both quadrature amplitude-sum and quadrature phase-diference for the entanglement state are 10.0 dB below the corresponding SNL.
