Abstract

The interference of the squeezed light produced by two independent, identical optical parametric oscillators below threshold is discussed in the context of semiclassical theory. It is shown that interference exists in the usual sense between the output fields from two optical parametric oscillators with coherent injected signals. The degree of squeezing and the intensity and noise fluctuation of the interference field are calculated in detail.
