Abstract

Squeezing in various nonlinear interactions can be theoretically evaluated using a new semi-classical method which is a linear input-output transformation for quantum fluctuations. We present experimental results concerning the generation of twin photon beams using a non degenerate Optical Parametric Oscillator and the generation of a high intensity sub-Poissonian light using an optoelectronic feedforward correction of one of these twin beams.
