Using a toroidal silica microcavity, we experimentally demonstrate measurement of the transduced phase modulation signal in the frequency range 4–5.8 MHz with a sensitivity −0.72(±0.01)  dB below the shot noise level. This is achieved for resonant probing in the highly undercoupled regime, by preparing the probe in a weak coherent state with phase squeezed vacuum states at sideband frequencies.
