  • 低频信号测量在引力波探测、生物成像及磁场测量等方面具有重要的应用价值.本文利用非简并光学参量放大器获得了低频压缩态光场,在频率19 kHz处直接测到的压缩度为(7.1±0.1)dB;将产生的正交位相压缩态光场注入到马赫-曾德尔干涉仪中,实现了超越散粒噪声极限(3.0±0.4)dB的声频相位信号的测量.本实验的开展为低频压缩光的产生及基于低频压缩光的声频信号测量提供了一定技术支撑,并且此技术有望扩展到磁场、空间小位移等其他物理量的量子精密测量方案中.

     

    Measurement of audio signal plays a significant role in many applications, such as gravitational wave detection, bio-particle imaging and magnetometer. In this paper, low-frequency squeezed light is generated by a non-degenerate optical parametric amplifier. In order to avoid the effect of injected light on low-frequency squeezing, an auxiliary laser is used to lock the length of non-degenerate optical parametric amplifier and a method of locking quantum noise is employed to lock the phase between the local light and the squeezed light. By isolating the vibration noises at low-frequency and reducing back action of parasitic interference, the squeezing of (7.1±0.1) dB takes place at 19 kHz. Then the squeezed light is injected into the Mach-Zehnder interferometer to measure an audio signal which drives a piezoelectric transducer to generate a small phase variation between two arms of Mach-Zehnder interferometer. According to the low-frequency squeezing, we realize experimentally the measurement of phase signal at audio frequency which exceeds the shot-noise limit of (3.0±0.4) dB. The experiment provides technical supports for the generation of low-frequency squeezed light and the measurement of audio signal. Furthermore it can be extended to other quantum measurements, such as high-precision magnetometer and measurement of small-displacement.
