Summary: 
A study on the limitation of optical communication systems has received much attention. A method to overcome the standard quantum limit is to apply non-standard quantum state, especially squeezed state. However, the advantage of the non-standard quantum state is degraded by the transmission energy loss. To cope with this problem, we have proposed a concept of the received quantum state control (RQSC), but the realization has some difficulties. In this paper, we propose a new system to realize the received quantum state control system, employing injection locked laser (ILL) system. Then we show that our new system can overcome the standard quantum limit.
