Progress in the search for the optimum light source

Abstract

Real lasers show intrinsic noise well above the standard quantum noise limit. We review the properties of lasers and of techniques to suppress this noise. Experimental results of electro-optic feedback techniques and of squeezing in a second harmonic generator are presented. Finally we show that the optimum light source could well be a cascade of different cavities, each one performing a specific task in the noise suppression.
