Third-order nonlinearity OPO: Schmidt mode decomposition and tripartite entanglement

We investigate quantum properties of light in optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) based on four-wave mixing gain in media with third-order nonlinearities. In spite of other competing χ effects such as phase modulation, bipartite and tripartite entanglement is predicted above threshold. These findi...

Summary:We investigate quantum properties of light in optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) based on four-wave mixing gain in media with third-order nonlinearities. In spite of other competing χ effects such as phase modulation, bipartite and tripartite entanglement is predicted above threshold. These findings are relevant for recent implementations of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible on-chip OPOs.
