  We report the experimental demonstration of directly produced polarization
squeezing at 1064 nm from a type I optical parametric amplifier (OPA) based on
a periodically poled KTP crystal (PPKTP). The orthogonal polarization modes of
the polarization squeezed state are both defined by the OPA cavity mode, and
the birefringence induced by the PPKTP crystal is compensated for by a second,
but inactive, PPKTP crystal. Stokes parameter squeezing of 3.6 dB and anti
squeezing of 9.4 dB is observed.
