Abstract

Optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) play a fundamental role in the generation of quantum correlation for quantum information processing and quantum metrology. In order to increase the communication fidelity of the quantum information protocol and the measurement precision of quantum metrology, it requires a high degree of quantum correlation. In this Rapid Communication we report a feedback optical parametric amplifier that employs a four-wave mixing (FWM) process as the underlying OPA and a beam splitter as the feedback controller. We first construct a theoretical model for this feedback-based FWM process and experimentally study the effect of the feedback control on the quantum properties of the system. Specifically, we find that the quantum correlation between the output fields can be enhanced by tuning the strength of the feedback.
