Abstract
We describe an experiment that generates squeezed states by means of forward four-wave mixing in sodium vapor with a single optical beam. The single-beam arrangement maximizes the pump—probe spatial overlap in the nonlinear medium. Self-focusing (or self-defocusing) is found to be the major limiting factor in achieving optimal squeezing.
