Abstract

Many quantum states of light and matter, such as coherent states, squeezed states, minimum-uncertainty states, intelligent states, quasi-intelligent states, and symmetric states, have long been of academic interest.¹ However, because of the success in realizing and using light squeezing in feasibility experiments, attention is now turning to the realization of more practical light sources. In this paper we adopt a new constructive procedure to look for new states of matter that may eventually permit the generation of squeezed light from new types of advanced semiconductor light sources.
