Abstract
The relationship between the squeezing and photon-number fluctuations in the output of a degenerate parametric oscillator is investigated. The addition of a second driving field at the idler frequency allows the direction of the squeezing to be changed. The squeezing may appear in the amplified quadrature. Photon antibunching or bunching may occur depending on whether the quadrature carrying the coherent excitation is squeezed.Keywords
