In crystals with strongly aperiodic, rather than periodic, poling, one can generate very broadband pulsed squeezed light. The bandwidth can be so large that the pulses will be `single-cycle’, with the pulse duration comparable with the period. This type of light will have ultrafast photon-number correlations, suitable for the sensitive probing of various effects on femtosecond time scale.
