Abstract

Low-noise light sources are important for on-chip interconnects, sensors, and quantum technology. We show that, using novel cavity designs featuring deep sub-wavelength confinement, it is possible to strongly reduce quantum fluctuations over a large bandwidth. The results could enable integrated sources with extremely low amplitude noise.

  • We extend a recently developed stochastic approach [9] to the case of squeezed-light generation in lasers and LEDs, and use it to analyze the physics of squeezing, as well as establishing the limits to the squeezing that can be achieved

  • In contrast to recent theoretical work [9,10,11,12], we here take into account the quantum statistics of the cavity out-coupling process, which is essential in order to describe intensity noise squeezing
