Passive elimination of correlated amplitude fluctuations in ultrabroadband supercontinua from highly nonlinear fibers by three-wave mixing

Abstract: The nonlinear transformation of fluctuations by frequency broadening is found to produce strong anti-correlations in the spectral output. This effect is investigated by dispersive Fourier transform measurements. We exploit the anti-correlations in order to cancel the intensity noise in a subsequent sum-frequency mixing step. This principle allows for the generation of tunable visible pulses by cascaded nonlinear mixing whilst maintaining the same intensity noise performance as the input pulses. In addition, we… Show more

“…Furthermore, the changes of the THz quantum vacuum induced by a perfectly reflecting plate or by a plate possessing a surface plasmon polariton were studied in this configuration [9]. Options to sample not only the electric component of the propagating quantum field but also its second generalized conjugated quadrature [10,11] have been discovered recently [12,13], paving the way towards a new type of quantum tomography operating completely in the time domain. In general, these subcycle studies of quantum fields are exploring deep connections between quantum and relativistic physics [11,14], thus creating a new platform for future advances in this frontier region of contemporary science.…”

“…Using a detection geometry with a more broadband frequency response (i.e., with thinner detection crystals and/or longer gate-pulse wavelengths), in order for the EOS trace to resemble the MIR field more closely, this stability benefits the sensitive time-domain investigation of nonlinear effects [16,18,159,160]. For our experimental setup, a further reduction of the fluctuations would require a lower RIN of the laser frontend or a compression scheme with taylored noise characteristics for a reduction of the amplitude noise [161]. For a shot-noise limited laser oscillator output, the timing and amplitude jitter values are expected to be ≈ 3 orders of magnitude lower than the fluctuations measured here.…”
