Abstract

We propose an optical approach to realizing Fano-type spectra of quadrature squeezing in a double-cavity-waveguide structure based on photonic crystals (PhCs). In this scheme, a partially transmitting element (PTE) in the waveguide creates the transmission and reflection light, which interferes with the outflow from the intracavity field and subsequently gives rise to Fano-type interference. Meanwhile, a degenerate parametric amplifier (DPA) embedded into the cavity is expected to yield quantum squeezed states in the interference process. After verifying the existence of the Fano resonance, we report that increasing the nonlinear gain of the DPA not only amplifies the transmitted intensity of the output field, but also improves its quadrature squeezing degree. More importantly, we illustrate that, when maintaining the high performance of quadrature squeezing, the linewidths and frequencies of the asymmetrical spectra can be modulated by adjusting the double-cavity coupling strength. This combination of Fano-type spectra and quadrature squeezing is beneficial for optimizing optical communications and signal processing with a low noise level.
