摘要
We report the observation of nonclassical quantum correlations of continuous light variables from an altogether different type of source. It is a frequency nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator below threshold, where signal and idler fields are separated by 740 MHz corresponding to two free spectrum ranges of the parametric oscillator cavity. The degree of entanglement observed, -3.8 dB, is the highest to date for a narrow-band tunable source suitable for atomic quantum memory and other applications in atomic physics. Finally we use the latter to visualize the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox.
