  We report on the generation of non separable beams produced via the
interaction of a linearly polarized beam with a cloud of cold cesium atoms
placed in an optical cavity. We convert the squeezing of the two linear
polarization modes into quadrature entanglement and show how to find out the
best entanglement generated in a two-mode system using the inseparability
criterion for continuous variable [Duan et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 2722
(2000)]. We verify this method experimentally with a direct measurement of the
inseparability using two homodyne detections. We then map this entanglement
into a polarization basis and achieve polarization entanglement.
