Abstract

Optical parametric oscillators (OPO) have been extensively used in the continuous variable quantum optics community as a resource to produce non-classical states of light, including squeezed states or entangled beams. They have been widely studied, theoretically and experimentally, in the single mode case, and have found many applications to quantum information protocols and high sensitivity optical measurements. However, as the complexity of quantum information protocols increases, the need for multiplexed quantum channels has emerged, which require the use of multimode non-classical states of light.
