摘要
We show that an absolute coherent phase of a laser can be used to manipulate the entanglement of photon pairs in two-photon laser. We present simple physics behind a general master equation for two-photon laser. Our focus is on the generation of a continuous source of macroscopically entangled photon pairs in the double Lambda (or Raman) scheme. We show how the steady-state photon numbers and entanglement depend on the laser parameters, especially the phase. We obtain a relationship between entanglement and two-photon correlation. We derive conditions that give steady-state entanglement for the spontaneous Raman-electromagnetic-induced transparency scheme and use it to identify the region with macroscopic entanglement. No entanglement is found for the double resonant Raman scheme.
