Intermodal entanglement in Raman processes
The operator solution of a completely quantum mechanical Hamiltonian of the
Raman processes is used here to investigate the possibility of obtaining
intermodal entanglement between different modes involved in the Raman processes
(e.g. pump mode, Stokes mode, vibration (phonon) mode and anti-Stokes mode).
Intermodal entanglement is reported between a) pump mode and anti-Stokes mode,
b) pump mode and vibration (phonon) mode c) Stokes mode and vibration phonon
mode, d) Stokes mode and anti-stokes mode in the stimulated Raman processes for
the variation of the phase angle of complex eigenvalue of pump
mode . Some incidents of intermodal entanglement in the spontaneous and the
partially spontaneous Raman processes are also reported. Further it is shown
that the specific choice of coupling constants may produce genuine entanglement
among Stokes mode, anti-Stokes mode and vibration-phonon mode. It is also shown
that the two mode entanglement not identified by Duan's criterion may be
identified by Hillery-Zubairy criteria. It is further shown that intermodal
entanglement, intermodal antibunching and intermodal squeezing are independent
phenomena.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure
Continuous source of phase-controlled entangled two-photon laser
We show that an absolute coherent phase of a laser can be used to manipulate the entanglement of photon pairs in two-photon laser. We present simple physics behind a general master equation for two-photon laser. Our focus is on the generation of a continuous source of macroscopically entangled photon pairs in the double Lambda (or Raman) scheme. We show how the steady-state photon numbers and entanglement depend on the laser parameters, especially the phase. We obtain a relationship between entanglement and two-photon correlation. We derive conditions that give steady-state entanglement for the spontaneous Raman-electromagnetic-induced transparency scheme and use it to identify the region with macroscopic entanglement. No entanglement is found for the double resonant Raman scheme
