Abstract
We investigate the squeezing of the pump beam in optical parametric in teraction. According to our semi-classical calculation, the pump beam reflected back from a Triply Resonant Optical Parametric Oscillator (T ROPO) is squeezed.(1) In this paper we preliminarily demonstrate the s queezing of the pump beam by using a semimonoclithic KTP TROPO pumped by a frequency doubled LD-pumped YAG laser. Noise reduction of 1.2 dB below the shot noise level is observed in the bistable region of the p arametric oscillation.
