SQUEEZING IN BISTABLE OPTICAL SYSTEMS

S. Reynaud , E. Giacobino

It is known that optical bistable systems are capable of generating squeezed states of light. Perfect squeezing can even be achieved near the bistability threshold. We show that it is possible to obtain the quantum fluctuations of the outgoing field by a "classical" treatment provided that the vacuum fluctuations are properly accounted for. This approach allows us to give a simple physical interpretation to the fluctuation spectra computed for optimum squeezing and for intensity squeezing.
