Abstract

We investigate entanglement in the above-threshold Optical Parametric Oscillator, both theoretically and experimentally, and discuss its potential applications to quantum information. The fluctuations measured in the subtraction of signal and idler amplitude quadratures are Δ2 p-=0.50(1), or -3.01(9) dB, and in the sum of phase quadratures are Δ2 +=0.73(1), or -1.37(6) dB. A detailed experimental study of the noise behavior as a function of pump power is presented, and discrepancies with theory are discussed.
