Abstract
Laser-cooled and trapped cesium atoms have been used as a nonlinear me dium in a nearly resonant cavity. A study of the semiclassical dynamic s of the system was performed, showing bistability and instabilities. In the quantum domain, squeezing in a probe beam having interacted wit h this system was demonstrated.
