Abstract

We demonstrate the generation of 12.1 pm 0.2 dB squeezed light from a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide optical parametric amplifier (OPA). While single-pass OPAs offer squeezed light with THz-order bandwidths, loss from spatial mode mismatch between the squeezed light and the local oscillator (LO) previously capped the squeezing level at sim10 dB [K. Hirota et al., Opt. Express 34, 7958 (2026)]. In this work, we minimize this loss by introducing a machine-learning-optimized spatial light modulator (SLM) in the path of the LO. Specifically, we employed a double-reflection configuration to increase the spatial degrees of freedom, and directly used the measured squeezing level as the optimization's objective function.
