PDC sources embedded in ppKTP waveguides have been shown to be stable sources of squeezed vacuum states with a broad versatility in the spectral mode structure. Recently, it has been demonstrated that by applying high pump powers, states with high mean photon numbers can be generated and measured [1], translating into high squeezing values.
In our work, we focus on the application of this type of source in the continuous-variable context, mainly focusing on the measurement of squeezed vacuum states in both, the spectral single and multimode case. We show the progress on the pulse-resolved homodyne detection in this system and its combination with photon counting measurements in quantum information protocols.
