finesse.components.squeezer module
Squeezer-type optical components for producing squeezed light inputs.
- class finesse.components.squeezer.Squeezer(*args, **kwargs)[source]
Bases:
Connector,FrequencyGenerator,NoiseGeneratorRepresents a squeezer producing a squeezed-light beam with a given squeezing in decibels and angle. The upper and conjugate of the lower sidebands can be excited in a signal analysis by injecting into the .upper and .lower_conj signal nodes.
Parameters
- namestr
Name of the newly created squeezer.
- dbfloat
Squeezing factor (in amplitude decibels). 6dB gives a factor of 2 reduction in noise.
- ffloat or
Frequency, optional Frequency-offset of the squeezer from the default (in Hz) or
Frequencyobject. Defaults to 0 Hz offset.- anglefloat, optional
Squeezing angle (in degrees). Defaults to zero.
- property angle
angle : float, optional Squeezing angle (in degrees). Defaults to zero.
- property db
db : float Squeezing factor (in amplitude decibels). 6dB gives a factor of 2 reduction in noise.
