Complex frequency-dependent quadrature squeezing in semiconductor lasers

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: We present a comprehensive study of quadrature squeezing in a quantum well laser based on a fully quantum Langevin approach. We compute the frequency-resolved squeezing map of the laser field and identify optimal squeezing curves, revealing, for the first time to our knowledge, both frequency-dependent squeezing and complex or hidden squeezing in a semiconductor laser. We further analyse the role of the linewidth enhancement factor (alpha-factor) in the emergence of these features. Our results establish semiconductor lasers as a platform for the generation of non-classical light and open new perspectives for their application in quantum communication and sensing.
