Laser Intensity Noise Suppression for Preparing Audio-Frequency 795 nm Squeezed Vacuum State of Light at Rubidium D1 Line

Laser intensity noise suppression has essential effects on preparation and characterization of the audio-frequency squeezed vacuum state of light based on a sub-threshold optical parametric oscillator (OPO).We have implemented two feedback loops by using relevant acousto-optical modulators (AOM) to stabilize the intensity of 795-nm near infrared (NIR) fundamental laser and 397.5-nm ultraviolet (UV) laser generated by cavity-enhanced frequency doubling.Typical peak-to-peak laser intensity fluctuation with a bandwidth of $\sim10$ kHz in a half hour has been improved from $\pm7.45$$\%$ to $\pm0.06$$\%$ for 795-nm NIR laser beam, and from $\pm9.04$$\%$ to $\pm0.05$$\%$ for 397.5-nm UV laser beam, respectively. The squeezing level of the squeezed vacuum state at 795 nm prepared by the sub-threshold OPO with a PPKTP crystal has been improved from -3.3 to -4.0 dB around 3$\sim$9 kHz of audio analysis frequency range.
