摘要：

Photon-number fluctuations 1.3 dB below the semiclassical shot-noise limit are observed in the output of a semiconductor microcavity laser. Although the laser oscillates in a single longitudinal mode, photon-number squeezed light is realized through nonclassical correlations between two orthogonally polarized, transverse laser modes.
