Abstract

We demonstrate production of short wavelength beams with nonclassical intensity correlations and quadrature entanglement using second harmonic generation in a nonlinear resonator with two output ports. The two output beams at the harmonic frequency have no direct interaction but are both nonlinearly coupled to a common pump beam. The nonlinear coupling produces amplitude and phase correlations between the beams which results in quadrature entanglement. The output beams at λ = 428.5 nm are shown to exhibit 0.6 dB of amplitude quadrature squeezing, 0.9 dB of nonclassical intensity correlations, and 0.3 dB of entanglement using about 30 mW of pump power.
