Control of Squeezed Light Pulse Spectrum in the Kerr Medium with an Intertial Nonlinearity
A. S. Chirkin, Florentin Popescu
Abstract
The consistent quantum theory of self-phase modulation ( SPM ) and cross-phase modulation ( XPM ) for ultrashort light pulses ( USPs ) in medium with electronic Kerr-nonlinearity are developed. The approach makes use of momentum operator of electrical field which takes account of the inertial behaviour of the nonlinearity. The spectrum of quantum fluctuations of squeezed-quadrature component as a function of response time of nonlinearity and values of nonlinear phase shifts due to the SPM and XPM effects, is investigated.
