Squeezed light generation is demonstrated using a new scheme of nonlinear fiber loop mirror. The squeezed light can be generated stably in a compact setup and the phase difference can be changed arbitrarily. Using a 100 ps mode-locked pulse laser at 1.064 µm and 0.85 µm single-mode fiber, the quantum noise reduction of 2.0 dB below the shot noise level is observed in the frequency range of 25–35 MHz. Accounting for the detection efficiency, this corresponds to 2.9 dB squeezing.
