Cross-quadrature modulation with the Raman-induced Kerr effect
Abstract
The Raman-enhanced third-order optical nonlinearity of calcite potentially can support resonant back-action-evading measurement of the optical-field amplitude. In a preliminary experiment, we have observed cross-quadrature modulation transfer between an amplitude-modulated pump beam and an unmodulated probe beam tuned near the Stokes frequency. The theory of Holland et al. [Phys. Rev. A 42, 2995 (1990)] is extended to the case for which intracavity losses are significant in an attempt to account for the observations. © 1991 The American Physical Society.
