Theoretical Studies of Squeezed-State Generation in Propagating Laser Beams

Abstract

This research investigated the feasibility of generating squeezed states of light using the conical emission that occurs when a nearly resonant laser beam propagates in an atomic vapor. Preliminary results indicate that a high degree of squeezing may be obtained in pulses. Methods were developed for the inclusion of diffraction and transverse effects. Keywords: Laser-pulse propagation.
