Abstract
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a method for non-invasive measurements of cavity parameters by injection of squeezed vacuum into an optical cavity. The principle behind this technique is the destruction of the correlation between upper and lower quantum sidebands with respect to the carrier frequency when the squeezed field is incident on the cavity. This method is especially useful for ultrahigh $Q$ cavities, such as whispering gallery mode (WGM) cavities, in which absorption and scattering by light-induced nonlinear processes inhibit precise measurements of the cavity parameters. We show that the linewidth of a test cavity is measured to be $\gamma = 844\pm40$ kHz, which agrees with the classically measured linewidth of the cavity within the uncertainty ($\gamma=856\pm34$ kHz).
