Limitations on squeezing and formation of the superposition of two macroscopically distinguishable states at fundamental frequency in the process of second harmonic generation
The results of numerical simulations of quantum state evolution in the process of second harmonic generation (SHG) are discussed. It is shown that at a particular moment of time in the fundamental mode initially coherent state turns into a superposition of two macroscopically distinguished states. The question of whether this superposition exhibits quantum interference is analyzed
Sub-Poissonian light and photocurrent shot-noise suppression in closed opto-electronic loop
We examine experimentally photocurrent noise reduction in the opto-electronic closed loop. Photocurrent noise density 12.5 dB below the shot-noise was observed. So large suppression was not reached in previous experiments and cannot be explained in terms of an ordinary sub-Poissonian light in the loop. We propose the concept of anticorrelation state for the description of light in the loop
Formation of Luminescence Centers in Oxygen-Deficient Cerium Oxide Nanocrystals
In this work the peculiarities of oxygen vacancies formation in cerium oxide nanoparticles for different
external influences have been investigated by spectroscopic methods.
The features of oxygen vacancies and therefore non-stoichiometric cerium oxide formation in CeO2
nanocrystals depending on the atmosphere of high temperature treatment were investigated. Stimulation
of oxygen vacancies formation in reducing and neutral atmospheres was revealed. Occurrence of two different
luminescence centers (viz. the charge-transfer complexes formed by Ce4+ and O2- ions, and Ce3+ ions
stabilized by vacancies) after cerium oxide nanoparticles annealing in a neutral atmosphere has been observed.

Measurement of qutrits
We proposed the procedure of measuring the unknown state of the three-level
system - the qutrit, which was realized as the arbitrary polarization state of
the single-mode biphoton field. This procedure is accomplished for the set of
the pure states of qutrits; this set is defined by the properties of SU(2)
transformations, that are done by the polarization transformers.Comment: 9 pages, 9 figure
On Exchange of Orbital Angular Momentum Between Twisted Photons and Atomic Electrons
We obtain an expression for the matrix element for a twisted
(Laguerre-Gaussian profile) photon scattering from a hydrogen atom. We consider
photons incoming with an orbital angular momentum (OAM) of ,
carried by a factor of not present in a plane-wave or pure
Gaussian profile beam. The nature of the transfer of units of OAM from
the photon to the azimuthal atomic quantum number of the atom is investigated.
We obtain simple formulae for these OAM flip transitions for elastic forward
scattering of twisted photons when the photon wavelength is large
compared with the atomic target size , and small compared the Rayleigh range
, which characterizes the collimation length of the twisted photon beam.Comment: 16 page
Suppression of impurity ions optical transitions dephasing in nanocrystals
Abnormally narrow spectral lines have been observed in the luminescence spectra of Y₂SiO₅Pr³⁺ and YVO₄:Eu³⁺ nanocrystals at the room temperature. This fact was interpreted as the result of optical transitions dephasing processes suppression in the nanocrystals. The general cause of the observed effect is the weakening of phonon scattering on the impurity centre as a result of the quantum size effect in nanocrystal phonon subsystem. At first the dependence of spectral line width on the nanocrystal size has been shown. Unnecessary of the deep cooling for narrow optical resonances obtaining makes these nanocrystals a potential candidate for the wide set of applications in the optical memory and quantum computing devices.На спектрах люмінесценції нанокристалів Y₂SiO₅Pr³⁺ та YVO₄:Eu³⁺ за кімнатної температури спостерігалася наявність аномально вузьких спектральних ліній. Це було інтерпретовано як результат заглушення процесів дефазування оптичних переходів у нанокристалах. Причиною зазначеного ефекту є ослаблення розсіювання фононів на домішковому центрі внаслідок впливу квантово-розмірного ефекту на підсистему фононів у нанокристалі. Уперше отримано залежність ширини спектральних ліній від розміру нанокристала. Відсутність потреби глибокого заморожування для отримання вузьких оптичних резонансів відкриває можливості використання таких нанокристалів для створення пристроїв оптичної памяті та квантових компютерів.На спектрах люминесценции нанокристаллов Y₂SiO₅Pr³⁺ и YVO₄:Eu³⁺ при комнатной температуре наблюдалось наличие аномально узких спектральных линий.

Feedback cooling of a single trapped ion
Based on a real-time measurement of the motion of a single ion in a Paul
trap, we demonstrate its electro-mechanical cooling below the Doppler limit by
homodyne feedback control (cold damping). The feedback cooling results are well
described by a model based on a quantum mechanical Master Equation.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Optimization of laser stabilization via self-injection locking to a whispering-gallery-mode microresonator: experimental study
Self-injection locking of a diode laser to a high-quality-factor
microresonator is widely used for frequency stabilization and linewidth
narrowing. We constructed several microresonator-based laser sources with
measured instantaneous linewidths of 1 Hz and used them for investigation and
implementation of the self-injection locking effect. We studied analytically
and experimentally the dependence of the stabilization coefficient on tunable
parameters such as locking phase and coupling rate. It was shown that precise
control of the locking phase allows fine tuning of the generated frequency from
the stabilized laser diode. We also showed that it is possible for such laser
sources to realize fast continuous and linear frequency modulation by injection
current tuning inside the self-injection locking regime. We conceptually
demonstrate coherent frequency-modulated continuous wave LIDAR over a distance
of 10 km using such a microresonator-stabilized laser diode in the
frequency-chirping regime and measure velocities as low as sub-micrometer per
second in the unmodulated case. These results could be of interest for
cutting-edge technology applications such as space debris monitoring and
long-range object classification, high resolution spectroscopy and others
