Abstract
We propose a non-collinear experimental scheme for the joint generation of two amplitude-squeezed beams at the frequencies omega (1) and omega (2), fu ndamental and second harmonics of a Nd:YAG laser pulse. The scheme consists of two successive steps, both involving second-order non-linear interactio ns in beta - BaB2O4 non-linear crystals. One of the output beams show subPo issonian photon statistics, and this allows to use photodetection instead o f homodyne detection for diagnostics.
