Abstract

A general input-output theory for quantum dissipative systems is developed in which it is possible to relate output to input via the internal dynamics of a system. This is applied to the problem of computing the squeezing produced by a degenerate parametric amplifier located inside a cavity. The results for the internal modes are identical with those of Milburn and Walls [Opt. Commun. 39, 401 (1981)]. The output field is also found to have only 50% of maximal squeezing. However, by taking the output for a degenerate parametric amplifier inside a single-ended cavity and feeding this into an empty single-ended cavity, one can produce a maximally squeezed state inside this second cavity.
