Abstract.

Recently, we showed [J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 38, 665 (2005)] that the `amplitude-squared squeezing', a non-classical feature, can be enhanced in mixing with a coherent light beam using a beam splitter. Here, we show that the sum squeezing in a two-uncorrelated-mode light beam (one mode is in Gaussian state and the other one is in coherent state), which is degenerate limit of amplitude-squared squeezing, may be generated or enhanced in mixing with a two-mode coherent light beam using a beam splitter.
