Abstract
The minimum resolvable signal in optical metrology and sensing applications is usually limited by the so-called standard quantum limit. One way to improve the signal-to-noise ratio is to use squeezed states of light. Squeezed light can be generated using different types of nonlinear interactions either in solid-state nonlinear crystals or in atomic systems. One way to generate squeezed light is to use a phase sensitive amplifier that will amplify one quadrature of the considered mode and deamplify the other one. We have recently shown that metastable helium vapor at room temperature can exhibit strong four-wave mixing effects and behave like a perfect phase sensitive amplifier when it is prepared in coherent population trapping situation. In this talk, we will present the application of this phase sensitive amplification to the generation of squeezed vacuum states of light and detail the performances and limitations of the system
