We show theoretically and experimentally that scattered light by thermal phonons inside a second-order nonlinear crystal is the source of additional phase noise observed in Optical Parametric Oscillators. This additional phase noise reduces…

Quantum fluctuations of optical fiber Bragg grating solitons are investigated numerically by the back-propagation method. It is found for the first time that the bandgap effects of the grating act as a nonlinear filter and cause the soliton…

We propose an experiment to extract ponderomotive squeezing from an interferometer with high circulating power and low mass mirrors. In this interferometer, optical resonances of the arm cavities are detuned from the laser frequency,…

Thermal noise of optical reference cavities sets a fundamental limit to the frequency instability of ultra-stable lasers. Using Levin's formulation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem we correct the analytical estimate for the spacer…

Accurate optical sensing and micromanipulation requires sensitive measurements of the position, orientation, and dynamics of small particles--and sometimes even large objects--under consideration. The signals acquired in the process,…
