Efficiency of microwave-optical transduction in rare-earth ions
ORAL
Abstract
We investigate a microwave-optical transducer based on an erbium-doped crystal placed in both a microwave resonator and an optical cavity [1]. Depending on the drive frequency of the optical cavity, this scheme allows for the conversion between microwaves and optical photons, or the biphoton emission of a microwave photon and an optical photon. We model the efficiency of the transduction when accounting for competing effects such as the biphoton emission and effective dispersion arising from fluctuations into the drive power.
