Abstract

We investigate a limiting factor of waveguide optical parametric amplifiers used for generating broadband squeezed light. We found that spatially non-degenerate optical parametric amplification (OPA) between the fundamental modes and the higher-order modes generates noise, and that this effect can be avoided by detecting the squeezed light with the optimal spatial mode. The analysis is conducted assuming the waveguides with different dimensions, offering valuable insight into the waveguide design for squeezing.
