title: Observation of squeezed noise produced by forward four-wave mixing in sodium vapor.
abstract: We have generated squeezed-state light through forward four-wave mixing in sodium vapor as verified by homodyne detection. Optical phase-sensitive noise with a minimum falling 4% below the shot-noise limit was observed.
