To evaluate the shot-noise levels, we used a motorized optical chopper blocking periodically the power of the pump beams. For each data acquisition, the shot-noise variance was calculated on five time windows with 0.4-ms duration. SE in the evaluation of the shot-noise levels was estimated equal to ± 0.025 dB and added to all the uncertainties reported in the paper.
