Squeezed photon-number noise and sub-Poissonian electrical partition noise in a semiconductor laserAmplitude noise on the light from a semiconductor laser produced a photocurrent fluctuation spectrum that was a maximum of 85 percent (-8.3 dB) below the shot-noise limit. Squeezing in semiconductor lasers is not limited by the overall quantum, or current transfer, efficiency from the laser injection current to the detector photocurrent. Current leakage away from the lasing junction does not introduce Poissonian partition noise.
