21. This argument would break down if a conversion efficiency approaching 100% could be obtained. However, because of the limited pump power, this regime of operation was experimentally inaccessible.

24. Although, in principle, it should be possible to coherently subtract the leakage field and recover the squeezed vacuum with the use of an appropriate beam splitter, it is not clear how one would experimentally generate the needed coherent-state beam, because the spatial profile of the leakage mode is power dependent and non-Gaussian.
