Abstract
Bright three-color continuous-variable (CV) entanglement generated by a cascaded sum-frequency process in an optical cavity is investigated. The second- and fourth-harmonic beams can be generated by two quasi-phase-matched cascaded sum-frequency processes in a quasi-periodic optical superlattice. Quantum correlations among the fundamental and second- and fourth-harmonic beams are calculated and discussed by applying a sufficient and necessary inseparability criterion for CV three-mode entanglement. Strong three-color CV entanglement beams with a double frequency interval can be produced in this simple system. It is experimentally feasible and may be very useful for applications in quantum communication and computation networks.
