Abstract

A quantum mechanical model for the study of quadrature squeezing in radiation coming out of Fabry–Perot cavity containing nonlinear Kerr medium has been proposed. We have incorporated the vacuum fluctuations entering in the cavity through unused ports. The analysis has been applied to a sample of GaAs filled in the Fabry–Perot cavity and irradiated by an off-resonant Co:MgF2 laser. Limitations on achievable squeezing due to incident pump power, interaction time, nonlinear coupling parameter and facet reflectivities have been discussed and it is seen that low reflectivity of front facet and high reflectivity of rear facet of the cavity produces substantial squeezing.
