14. Since the vacuum fluctuations entering the cavity due to losses and those due to finite transmissivity are uncorrelated, we add them in quadrature.
15. A "pure" squeezed state refers to the case where the variance of the noise in one quadrature increases by exactly the same amount as that in the orthogonal quadrature is reduced, i.e., the area of the noise ellipse is unity. When excess noise is present in one quadrature, this condition is not satisfied.
16. "Conventional" refers to a power-recycled Michelson interferometer with Fabry-Pérot cavities in the arms, after Ref. [8].
