Abstract

Abstract One of the prime applications of squeezed light is enhancing the sensitivity of an interferometer below the quantum shot-noise limit, but so far, no such experimental demonstration was reported when using the optical Kerr effect. In prior setups involving Kerr-squeezed light, the role of the interferometer was merely to characterize the noise pattern. The lack of such a demonstration was largely due to the cumbersome tilting of the squeezed ellipse in phase space. Here, we present the first experimental observation of phase-sensitivity enhancement in an interferometer using Kerr squeezing.

4. Note, that ‘SQL’ sometimes refers to just the shot-noise limit (SNL). Here, we use the definition for SQL given by Caves in 1980 for a laser interferometer, where he refers to increasing the laser power and thus lowering the shot noise, until an optimum is reached and any further power increase will deteriorate the sensitivity because of the increasing light-pressure noise. At this power of highest sensitivity, the SQL is reached.
