Abstract

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.

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.

Generation of entanglement between frequency bands by nonlinear fiber propagation and spectral pulse shaping

Daisuke Fujishima, Fumihiko Kannari, Masahiro Takeoka +1 more

A novel fiber-based scheme for generating quadrature entanglement between a specific pair of frequency bands is proposed. The scheme is based on use of a nonlinear fiber, a spectral pulse shaper, and an adaptive feedback loop. It is numerically predicted that at least -5 dB of the quadrature entanglement will be created by preparation of an appropriate initial phase spectrum. Optimal control of the four-wave mixing terms of the Kerr Hamiltonian is crucial for improvement of the entanglement.

Soliton amplitude squeezing without spectral filtering

Mordechai Margalit, Erich P. Ippen, H. A. Haus

Summary form only given.Recently, a novel way of generating an amplitude-squeezed state using the Kerr nonlinearity has been demonstrated. In this scheme, a pulse with an energy greater than that of the fundamental soliton is launched into an optical fiber with a length of several soliton periods. At the fiber output, the pulse is filtered and detected. The resulting photocurrent has a noise level lower then the shot noise, indicating an amplitude-squeezed state. Here, we demonstrate that soliton amplitude squeezing can be obtained without postfiltering.

Perturbation theory of quantum solitons:?continuum evolution and optimum squeezing by spectral filtering

Dmitry Levandovsky, Michael Vasilyev, Prem Kumar

We study the quantum-noise properties of spectrally filtered solitons in optical fibers. Perturbation theory, including a quantum description of the continuum, is used to derive a complete analytical expression for the second-order correlator of the amplitude quadrature. This correlator is subsequently used to optimize the frequency response of the filter numerically in order to achieve the minimum photon-number noise. For propagation distances up to three soliton periods, the length at which the best noise reduction occurs, a square filter is found to be approximately optimum. For longer distances, more-complicated filter shapes are predicted for the best noise reduction.
