Abstract

I show that, in the case of both one- and two-photon resonances, a many-cascade two-photon correlated-spontaneous-emission laser can generate light exhibiting phase and photon-number squeezings. Optimizing the mean photon number in the cavity with respect to a phase factor sin[1/2(n-1)\ensuremath{\theta}]/sin(1/2\ensuremath{\theta}), we find that the maximized mean photon number and its squeezing increase with increasing the top populations ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\rho}}}_{\mathit{n}\mathit{n}}^{\mathit{a}}$ of the active atoms. However, the photon-number squeezing may decrease, increase, or not change when increasing the number n-1 of lower, almost degenerate atomic levels, depending on the relative phase \ensuremath{\theta} of lower atomic states determined by the optimization conditions. The phase squeezing has a maximum value with increasing n-1 and ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\rho}}}_{\mathit{n}\mathit{n}}^{\mathit{a}}$.
