Electro-optical feedback can produce an in-loop photocurrent with arbitrarily low noise. This is not regarded as evidence of `real' squeezing because squeezed light cannot be extracted from the loop using a linear beam splitter. Here I show…

We discuss statistical and physical properties of cosmic microwave background polarization, both in Fourier and in real space. The latter allows for a more intuitive understanding of some of the geometric signatures. We present expressions…
We introduce the concept of a squeezed laser, in which a squeezed cavity mode develops a macroscopic photonic occupation due to stimulated emission. Above the lasing threshold, the emitted light retains both the spectral purity inherent of…
