Employing the pertinent quantum Hamiltonian describing the interaction of a two-mode light (signal-idler modes) generated by a nondegenerate parametric oscillator (NDPO) with two uncorrelated squeezed vacuum reservoirs (USVR), we derive the master equation. The corresponding Fokker-Planck equation for the Q-function is then solved employing the method of evaluating the propagator formalism developed in Ref. [1]. Making use of this Q-function, we calculate the quadrature fluctuations. Applying these results we verify that the signal-idler modes are in a squeezed state and the squeezing occurs in the first quadrature. When the NDPO operates below threshold we show that, for a large squeeze parameter, a squeezing amounting to a noise suppression approaching 100% below the vacuum level can be achieved.
