Perfect squeezing of terahertz light by two quantum wells using a squeezed vacuum reservoir

The nonclassical properties of a microcavity confining two quantum wells irradiated by a coherent light source and interacting with a squeezed vacuum reservoir are investigated. By deriving analytical expressions of the intensity power spectrum, the squeezing spectrum, and the second-order correlation function of the output field, we show that the proposed scheme generates perfect squeezing. The obtained results are quite different from the single-quantum-well cavity system where, under the same conditions, squeezing does not exceed 50%, and the transmitted light is bunched. It turns out that the presence of indirect excitons in the cavity strongly modifies the quantum dynamics of the system. (C) 2019 Optical Society of America
