Phys. Rev. Lett. 68, 3020–3023 (1992)Spectroscopy with squeezed lightReceived 29 January 1992; published in the issue dated 18 May 1992 A frequency-tunable source of squeezed light is employed for spectroscopic measurements of atomic cesium. Relative to the usual quantum limit associated with vacuum-state fluctuations, enhanced sensitivity is demonstrated for the detection of Doppler-free resonances in saturation spectroscopy, with an improvement of 3.1 dB directly observed and 3.8 dB inferred after correcting for detector thermal noise. © 1992 The American Physical Society URL:
