Phys. Rev. A 55, 2326–2333 (1997)Low noise amplification and efficient squeezing from rate matched lasersReceived 24 June 1996; published in the issue dated March 1997 We investigate the quantum noise properties of lasers in which both the laser and pump form resonant cavity modes. We find that under conditions typical of solid-state lasers small signals placed on the pump beam of such systems can be found to be amplified on the laser output without incurring the usual 3 dB noise penalty associated with linear amplifiers. We also show that such systems can be very efficient producers of squeezed light. © 1997 The American Physical Society URL:
