The possibilities and perspectives of squeezed light emission are studied for coherently driven single photon sources, such as atoms and quantum dots. Maximal squeezing is realized, if the electronic subsystem of the emitter is in a pure quantum state. The purification is achieved by using a cavity as a second decay channel, besides the incoherent coupling to the electromagnetic vacuum. For realistic cavities this yields a purity of the electronic state of more than 99%. Besides numerical calculations, we also derive approximate analytical results. Based on the approximations, effects are studied which originate from the environment of the emitter, including radiationless dephasing and incoherent pumping of the emitter and the cavity mode. The fragility of squeezing against decoherence is substantially reduced, so that squeezing persists even under hostile conditions. The measurement of squeezing from such light sources is also considered.
