Phys. Rev. B 48, 11732–11742 (1993)Exciton-induced squeezed state of light in semiconductorsReceived 2 July 1993; published in the issue dated 15 October 1993 In this paper a mechanism for the generation of a squeezed state of light is theoretically presented. Due to coupling with excitons and via exciton-exciton interaction, a light beam propagating within a finite-size semiconductor sample is shown to evolve into a squeezed state. Based on an effective bosonic Hamiltonian, which is obtained from the original fermionic one, a detailed derivation of the photon quadrature variances is presented and dependences of the photon squeezing on both the extrinsic and intrinsic parameters are analyzed. © 1993 The American Physical Society URL:
