Abstract
We present a brief history of experimental studies of quadrature squee zing, a tutorial on the physical origin and theory of squeezing, and o ur experimental study of squeezing by means of chi((2)) (second-order) nonlinear waveguides. We recently obtained 28% squeezing in quasi-pha se-matched LiTaO3 waveguides, using picosecond pulses. The amount of s queezing appears to be limited primarily by blue-light-induced red abs orption.
