Squeezing in the output field from a one-dimensional atom
Kazuki Koshino · Journal of Physics B Atomic Molecular and Optical Physics · 2006
It is revealed that quadrature squeezing occurs in the output field from a one-dimensional atom driven by a classical field. The degree of squeezing depends on the intensity of the input field, and reaches 28% at the maximum. It can roughly be regarded that the output field is in a superposition of coherent and number states.
