Abstract: | |
The engineering of strongly squeezed vacuum states of light is a key technology for the reduction of quantum noise in gravitational wave detectors. We report on the observation of up to 12.0 dB squeezed vacuum states of light at the wavelength of 1064 nm in the frequency band from 10 Hz to 100 kHz. This is the strongest squeezing reported to date within this detection band. The squeezed states were generated in a half-monolithic, standing-wave cavity optical parametric amplifier, which was resonant for the fundamental and harmonic light fields. We chose appropriate reflectivities to obtain a significant reduction of the required pump power, which was 8.6 mW only. Our analysis revealed that the residual measurement phase noise was smaller than 3.5 mrad rms and that the squeezed light source provided up to 14 dB of squeezing for a downstream application. The experiment was electronically stabilized in all relevant degrees of freedom, demonstrating the applicability of the linear, doubly resonant cavity topology for current and future gravitational wave detectors. | |
