Abstract
The configuration of a semimonolithic continuous wave nondegenerate op tical parametric oscillator (cw-NOPO) consisting of an alpha-cut KTP c rystal pumped by an intracavity frequency-doubled and frequency-stabil ized Nd:YAP laser is reported. Both two-mode quadrature-phase squeezin g of 3.7 dB and intensity-difference squeezing of 7 dB have been gener ated from the cw-NOPO operating respectively below and above the oscil lation threshold through the frequency down-conversion process.
