Integrated quantum optical phase sensor in thin film lithium niobate

Hubert S. Stokowski et al.

Summary: The research focuses on the limitation of optical phase sensors due to the quantum noise of light. To overcome this, an engineered source of squeezed states is introduced to suppress the noise and improve the phase detection sensitivity. A photonic integrated circuit in thin-film lithium niobate is designed and used to generate squeezed states with the same frequency as the pump light, allowing for circuit control and sensing with electro-optics. The results show (2.7 +/- 0.2)% squeezing when using 26.2 milliwatts of optical power, and it is applied to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of phase measurement. Such low-power and integrated photonic systems have great potential in advancing quantum optical sensing.

Thin-film lithium-niobate electro-optic platform for spectrally tailored dual-comb spectroscopy

Amirhassan Shams-Ansari et al.

Summary: Laser frequency comb generators on photonic chips show the potential for integrated dual-comb microspectrometers. Among nanophotonic platforms, the low-loss thin-film lithium-niobate-on-insulator technology stands out with its ability to combine various optoelectronic and nonlinear optical functionalities. In this study, a critical step towards on-chip fabrication of a fully functional instrument is demonstrated with an electro-optic microring-based dual-comb interferometer. The system achieves spectra with a range of 1.6 THz and a resolution of 10 GHz in a single measurement without the need for frequency scanning or moving parts. The frequency agility of the system enables multiplexed sensing of non-adjacent spectral regions without compromising the signal-to-noise ratio. These findings highlight the promising potential of electro-optic-based nanophotonic technology for broad-spectral-bandwidth molecular sensing.
