we know there are different systems to generate squeezing of light. But I want to know:-
1) which one is the best system and how much squeezing we can get at it's maximum and minimum value?
2) What are the different applications of squeezing of light?
1) 12.7 dB of squeezing should be at (or very close to) the state of the art. You can have a look at the setup that was used there:

Since it was designed for Gravitational Wave Detection, it should also be quite stable.
2) The two main applications of squeezed light include enhancement of precision measurements [http://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.104.251102] and quantum information processing:

There are a number of techniques known for squeezing light. The world record for squeezed light has been achieved using a zero-area Sagnac interferometer, see
