Abstract
Squeezed states of light have recently been generated using nondegenerate backward four-wave mixing in an optical cavity.1 The nonlinear medium is a Na atomic beam driven by a dye laser pump tuned ~300 atomic linewidths off-resonance. In addition to the coherently driven nonlinear polarization used to form the squeezed state, there is noise generated due to spontaneous emission associated with the Lorentzian absorption frequency profile of the resonant atomic system.
