摘要
We report the observation of more than 7 dB of vacuum squeezing from a below-threshold optical parametric oscillator (OPO). We discuss design criteria and experimental considerations for its optimization and demonstrate that the vacuum squeezing can be electro-optically transferred to a bright beam using a feed-forward loop. This is compared with the bright intensity squeezed beam generated by running the OPO as a de-amplifier.
