Abstract

We have developed a compact, modular source of squeezed light consisting of free-space optical elements residing on a custom-built optics board. The footprint of the device’s optics board is roughly 45 cm by 45 cm and it is controlled by a custom electronics box with a similar footprint. The device generates up to 6.5 dB of measured quantum noise reduction below the shot noise level. We anticipate that it will facilitate the development of future quantum optics experiments.
