  We report generation of a continuous-wave squeezed vacuum resonant on the Rb
D_1 line (795 nm) using periodically poled KTiOPO_4 (PPKTP) crystals. With a
frequency doubler and an optical parametric oscillator based on PPKTP crystals,
we observed a squeezing level of -2.75 +- 0.14 dB and an anti-squeezing level
of +7.00 +- 0.13 dB. This system could be utilized for demonstrating storage
and retrieval of the squeezed vacuum, which is important for the ultra-precise
measurement of atomic spins as well as quantum information processing.
