Abstract
We show that a linear Fabry-Pérot cavity with an oscillating end mirror can be used for quantum noise reduction. For a high-quality factor of the mechanical oscillator the output quantum fluctuations of the monochromatic light beam can be significantly squeezed at a frequency very close to that of the impinging light. The analysis is performed by taking into account the coupling of the system with the external world.
