We analyze the influence factors that affect the observed degree of squeezing in generation and detection stages theoretically, including the fluctuations of pump power, the intra-cavity loss of the optical parametric amplifier (OPA) cavity , the phase fluctuation on balanced homodyning stage, the propagation efficiency, the mode matching efficiency, the out-put mirror transmission of the OPA cavity and the quantum efficiency of the detector. The theoretical results show that different loss sources appearing at various stages of the squeezed light generation and detection are far more dominant and in the end limit the squeezing level achievable. The analysis of these parameters will be extremely useful for subsequent experiments.
