Squeezing of intensity noise in nanolasers and nanoLEDs with extreme dielectric confinement
Jesper Mørk, Kresten Yvind
Abstract
Low-noise light sources are important for on-chip interconnects, sensors, and quantum technology. We show that, using novel cavity designs featuring deep sub-wavelength confinement, it is possible to strongly reduce quantum fluctuations over a large bandwidth. The results could enable integrated sources with extremely low amplitude noise.
