We comprehensively review the quantum theory of the polarization properties of light. In
classical optics, these traits are characterized by the Stokes parameters, which can be …

A concept of polarization entanglement for continuous variables is introduced. For this
purpose the Stokes-parameter operators and the associated Poincaré sphere, which …

We report the experimental transformation of quadrature entanglement between two optical
beams into continuous variable polarization entanglement. We extend the inseparability …

Using a traveling-wave optical parametric amplifier with two orthogonally oriented type-I
BBO crystals pumped by picosecond pulses, we generate vertically and horizontally …

We report the demonstration of a magnetometer with noise-floor reduction below the shot-
noise level. This magnetometer, based on a nonlinear magneto-optical rotation effect, is …

We report the first experimental characterization of the first-order continuous variable orbital
angular momentum states. Using a spatially nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator …

We study the interaction of a nearly resonant linearly polarized laser beam with a cloud of
cold cesium atoms in a high finesse optical cavity. We show theoretically and experimentally …

We report new experiments on polarization squeezing using ultrashort photonic pulses in a
single pass of a birefringent fiber. We measure what is to our knowledge a record squeezing …

We investigate polarization squeezing of ultrashort pulses in optical fiber, over a wide range
of input energies and fiber lengths. Comparisons are made between experimental data and …

We report on a novel and efficient source of polarization squeezing that uses a single pass
through an optical fiber. Using the fiber's two orthogonal polarization axes produces two …
