Squeezing Spectral Analysis

Analyze frequency-dependent squeezing spectra, sideband modes, and detect squeezing at specific measurement frequencies

Frequency-Dependent Squeezing Spectrum

The squeezing spectrum describes how noise suppression varies with sideband frequency. For a resonator with linewidth κ:

S(Ω) = 1 - ηesc × 4Gκ² / [(κ + Γ)² + Ω²]

Where Ω = 2πf is the sideband frequency

Key spectral features:

  • Zero-frequency squeezing: Maximum at Ω = 0
  • 3 dB bandwidth: Half-power frequency ~ κ/2π
  • Sideband modes: Correlated upper/lower sidebands
  • Detection frequency: Typically 1-100 MHz for GW detectors
