Abstract

We report on a sequential control scheme to realize a steady, quasi-continuous output of squeezed vacuum states, which eliminates the influence of the seed beam on the squeezing strength. The scheme, originating from time-division multiplexing, separates the generation process from the locking process. We confirm that the sequential control scheme does not reduce the squeezing strength and that the setup operates stably for a 3-h running test, with a duty ratio of 80% and cycle time of 5 s. Therefore, the sequential control scheme opens up a new path of manipulating squeezed vacuum states.
