Abstract
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle manifests itself in many different parameter-pairs. Squeezed states of those parameter-pairs and their diverse generating apparatus have been and are being developed. Examples include number squeezing with atoms (Gross et al., Nature 464:1165–1169, 2010, [1]), atomic spin squeezing (Hamley et al., Nature Phys. 8:305–308, 2012, [2]), optical polarisation squeezing (Korolkova et al., Phys Rev A 65:052306, 2002; Corney et al., Simulations and experiments on polarisation squeezing in optical fibre, 2008, [3, 4]), and ponderomotive squeezing (Corbitt et al., Phys Rev A 73:023801, 2006; Marino et al., Phys Rev Lett, 2010; Brooks et al., Nature 488:476–480, 2012, [5–7]). This chapter reviews the type of squeezed vacuum generator that is currently applicable for gravitational-wave detector enhancement. A simplified overview of a squeezed state generator is covered, with key components and physicals processes treated in detail. The recommended sources for further detail are the works of Buchler (Electro-optic control of quantum measurements, 2008, [8]), McKenzie (Squeezing in the audio gravitational wave detection band, 2008, [9]) and Vahlbruch (Squeezed light for gravitational wave astronomy, 2004, [10]).
