Title: Mechanism for pumping lasers with squeezed light

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)

In this paper we demonstrate how the squeezed-pump-laser model of Marte and Walls (Phys. Rev. A 37, 1235 (1988)) may be realized in practice. We consider a three-level atomic medium interacting with two cavity modes pumped with squeezed light. We show that this pumping mechanism both achieves atomic inversion and squeezes the fluctuations on the lasing transition.
