By employing a home-made single-frequency Nd：YVO4 laser with dual wavelength outputs as the pump source, via an optical parameter oscillator based on periodically poled KTR a squeezed vacuum of 6.1 dB＋0.1 dB below the shot noise limit at 1342 nm is experimentally measured. This system could be utilized for demonstrating practical quantum information networks.展开更多

It is found that when the environment is changed from an ordinary vacuum to a squeezed vacuum, the 2D atom localization is realized by detecting the position-dependent resonance fluorescence spectrum. For comparison, we demonstrate that the atom localization originating from the quantum interference effect is distinct from that induced by a squeezed vacuum. Furthermore, the combined effects of the squeezed vacuum and quantum interference are also discussed under appropriate conditions. The internal physical mechanism is analyzed in terms of dressed-state representation.展开更多

The corresponding explicit analytical steady-state solutions in the central mode ωp = ωs are derived, and the result displays optical bistability （OB）. In addition, the influence of the broadband SV on the bistable behaviour is analysed in detail.展开更多

Using the graphic method, the dependences of the absorption and the dispersion of the system on the coupling field strength, the incoherent pumping field strength and the intensity of the squeezed vacuum are analysed. The result shows that the probe pulse propagation can be changed from subluminal to superluminal speed.展开更多
