Abstract

We numerically studied the dependence of the initial pulse shape on the spectral filtering photon-number squeezing of ultrashort optical pulses in nonlinear optical fibers. An adaptive system for the optimization of intrapulse quantum structures is also proposed.

Optimization of ultrashort-pulse squeezing by spectral filtering with the Fourier pulse-shaping technique

Masahiro Takeoka, Daisuke Fujishima, Fumihiko Kannari

We propose an adaptive waveform-control approach to optimize photon-number squeezing by the nonlinear fiber spectral filtering method. More than -8-dB squeezing of the sech envelope pulse is numerically predicted when the spectral phase is modulated before the pulse is sent to a fiber. The quantum cross correlations of the photon-number fluctuation become uniformly negative when the pulse is optimally shaped.

The optimization control of soliton squeezing in nonlinear fibers using a pulse shaper and a spectral filter

Daisuke Fujishima, Masahiro Takeoka, Fumihiko Kannari

Summary form only given. Quantum entanglement and other related effects with bright squeezed fields have attracted a great interest since it does not need the few quanta system. We propose the novel adaptive system for optimization of the initial pulse waveform to obtain desired intermode quantum structures, and numerically evaluated its feasibilities. We show the experimental setup for the proposed system. The (classically) shaped pulses are propagated through a nonlinear fiber and the quantum state information of these pulses is detected after spectral filtering. The detected information is fed back to the pulse shaper with an optimization algorithm, and thus we can find out the optimum initial waveform. for obtaining the desired quantum structure.

Manipulation of the intermode quantum correlations of optical pulses in nonlinear fibers via a classical pulse shaping

Masahiro Takeoka, S. Sakata, Fumihiko Kannari

Summary form only given. Recent experiments have demonstrated more than 50% of photon number squeezing of optical pulses by spectral filtering method in nonlinear optical fibers. For such squeezing quantum correlations between the spectral components of the pulses play a crucial role. The intermode correlations in the squeezed pulses are mainly induced by the second-order dispersion and the third-order nonlinearity (the self-phase modulation (SPM) effect) of fibers. We numerically study the dependence of the initial pulse waveform on spectral filtering squeezing and the optimization of pulses to obtain the further squeezing. Calculations are performed by solving the quantum nonlinear Schrodinger equation (QNLSE) in the positive P representation.

Fiber-based schemes for controlling quantum correlation between frequency bands of an ultrashort pulse to generate photon-number squeezing are studied. By employing a microstructured fiber of which zero-dispersion wavelength is 820 nm, significantly large photon-number squeezing of –4.6 dB is obtained without shaping an input pulse. Influence of spatio-temporal coupling at the pulse shaper on the control of quantum correlation is discussed.
