Mechanism for pumping lasers with squeezed light
Fritz Haake, Daniel F. Walls, Matthew J. Collett · Physical Review A · 1989
In this paper we demonstrate how the squeezed-pump-laser model of Marte and Walls [Phys. Rev. A 37, 1235 (1988)] may be realized in practice. We consider a three-level atomic medium interacting with two cavity modes pumped with squeezed light. We show that this pumping mechanism both achieves atomic inversion and squeezes the fluctuations on the lasing transition.
