摘要
The frequency-tunable subthreshold OPO has become a unique source for probing and driving atoms with nonclassical light. Applications span from sub-shot-noise atomic measurements to proposals for the generation of quantum-correlated atomic ensembles. We briefly review the experiments performed to date and then concentrate on the recent results in atomic spin polarization experiments with nonclassical OPO light.
