  • Abstract
    In the experiment presented, a transverse multimode OPO pumped either below or above threshold in order to observe spatial quantum properties are realized. In the continuous variable regime, transverse quantum effects (spatial correlations, spatial squeezing or noiseless amplification of images), are predicted be observable in such OPO/OPA. The key point in this experiment is the use of transverse degenerate cavities, having a non negligible spatial bandwidth, and allowing the resonance of many transverse modes.
