As is well known, quantum optics has developed significantly in recent years and advanced several hot research topics, such as quantum communications, quantum sensing, quantum calculations, etc. Among these researches, it is important to understand the quantum information transmitting in optical fiber. For realizing longer transmission distance and better transmission quality, great effort has devoted to the researches of encoding and decoding at the transmitter and the receiver end. However, less attention was paid to the fading of signal in the transmission channel. In this work, we mainly focus on the transmission model of optical quantum transmission and the influences of loss, dispersion and nonlinear effect on fiber transmission of optical quantum information are also discussed.Quantum information transmission can be influenced by loss, dispersion and nonlinear effect in optical fiber, leading to transmission state evolution and energy transfer. Based on the transmission equation of single mode fiber and quantum theory of electromagnetic field, the fundamental mode field of single mode fiber is quantized. A quantum transmission equation is deduced from the classical optical transmission equation through quantizing the amplitude of electromagnetic field. Compared with classic wave theory, the photon transmission equation quantizing the slowly-varying amplitude in the coupled nonlinear Schrdinger equation is obtained. In the classic wave equation, light is interpreted as energy which propagates as waves. The photon transmission equation is obtained by quantizing the slowly-varying amplitude of light, that is, the particle nature of light. The energy propagates through alternative interaction between creation and annihilation operator on photons. The transmission equations show that photons will interact with the transmission medium during propagation and be influenced by dispersion, nonlinear effect, loss, etc. By giving a trail solution and introducing a perturbation term, the transmission equation is solved for the complicated case where the dispersion, loss and nonlinear effect are all involved. A dispersion equation that should be satisfied for nontrivial solution is then obtained. From this dispersion equation, the relation between photon power and perturbation frequency is calculated and analyzed. The change of photon power in generalized field with perturbation frequency is discussed, and the influences of fiber dispersion and nonlinearity on the solution are analyzed.Some conclusions are obtained by perturbed solution and analyses of single photon transmission equation in optical fiber. It is found that photon power decreases with the increase of perturbation frequency and reaches its maximum value for zero perturbation frequency. At the same time, the optical power is affected by the dispersion of the optical fiber. Photon power decreases with the GVD coefficient far from the zero dispersion point. It is also found that photon power decreases with the increase of nonlinear coefficient. This work may contribute to the research of the properties of quantum fiber transmission system.
This paper presents a theory for quantum light propagation in a single-mode fiber which includes the effects of the Kerr nonlinearity, group-velocity dispersion, and linear loss. The theory reproduces the results of classical self-phase modulation, quantum four-wave mixing, and classical solution physics, within their respective regions of validity. It demonstrates the crucial role played by the Kerr-effect material time constant, in limiting the quantum phase shifts caused by the broadband zero-point fluctuations that accompany any quantized input field. Operator moment equations - approximated, numerically, via a terminated cumulant expansion - are used to obtain results for homodyne-measurement noise spectra when dispersion is negligible. More complicated forms of these equations can be used to incorporate dispersion into the noise calculations.
We analyze the quantum dynamics of radiation propagating in a single-mode optical fiber with dispersion, nonlinearity, and Raman coupling to thermal phonons. We start from a fundamental Hamiltonian that includes the principal known nonlinear effects and quantum-noise sources, including linear gain and loss. Both Markovian and frequency-dependent, non-Markovian reservoirs are treated. This treatment allows quantum Langevin equations, which have a classical form except for additional quantum-noise terms, to be calculated. In practical calculations, it is more useful to transform to Wigner or +P quasi-probability operator representations. These transformations result in stochastic equations that can be analyzed by use of perturbation theory or exact numerical techniques. The results have applications to fiber-optics communications, networking, and sensor technology.

Based on the scalar four-photon scattering process, the quantum state of a lightwave at the output of fiber is derived by solving the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a perturbation theory. The joint spectral function of two photons is achieved from the derived quantum state. The dispersion operator involves the third-order dispersion term in the case that the pump wavelength is close to the zero dispersion wavelength. Simulation results show the first-order approximation of our joint spectral function is in excellent agreement with the complicated exact solution. By analyzing the spectral property of the two-photon flux generated by four-photon scattering in photonic-crystal fibers, it is found that the sign of dispersion has very little influence on the spectrum except the slight modulation instability in the anomalous dispersion domain.
