Formation and conversion of the polarization-squeezed light

Abstract
We consider polarization-squeezed (PS) light generation in anisotropic Kerr medium. The fluctuations of the Stokes parameter either S 2 or S 3 are suppressed in PS light. We show the possibility to transform PS light into light with sub-Poissonian statistics by linear conversion (phase plate and analyser). The quantum properties of the second harmonic (SH) generated by frequency doubling of the PS light are investigated.
