Squeezing in the degenerate parametric oscillator
Abstract
Squeezing of the intracavity field in a degenerate parametric oscillator is calculated above threshold neglecting pump depletion. Arbitrary squeezing is in principle obtainable. We conclude that above threshold squeezing in the steady-state parametric oscillator is limited primarily by pump depletion rather than degradation by vacuum fluctuations at the mirrors. The squeezing predicted by the present calculation should be observable in an oscillator operated in a transient or pulsed mode
