Quantum noise and thermal noise in optical soliton propagation

Robert M. Shelby, E. H. Whittaker, P. D. Drummond +2 more

Classical optical solitons propagate in optical fibers without temporal or spectral distortion as a result of a balance between phase shifts due to group velocity dispersion and those due to nonlinear self-phase modulation. This balance is achieved by the proper choice of pulse shape and duration for a given pulse energy. The quantum fluctuations associated with a coherent soliton do not undergo stationary propagation, however, and a number of effects are predicted, including the evolution of vacuum noise associated with the input coherent pulse into squeezed fluctuations and the temporal spreading of the soliton pulse because of dispersion acting on quantum fluctuations of the pulse frequency.

Effect of Group-Velocity Dispersion on Photon-Number Squeezing of Optical Pulses using Optical Fibers and Spectral Filter

Norihiko Nishizawa, Takeo Horio Takeo Horio, Masakazu Mori +2 more

Photon-number squeezing of optical pulses using optical fibers and band-pass spectral filters is numerically analyzed. The evolution of the quantum noise in the optical pulse propagation is calculated in both the spectral and time domains. The mechanism of filtering squeezing and the role of the group-velocity dispersion are investigated. It is shown that the squeezing is realized owing to the interaction between the self-phase modulation and the group-velocity dispersion.

Soliton squeezing in a highly transmissive nonlinear optical loop mirror

Dmitry Levandovsky, Michael Vasilyev, Prem Kumar

A perturbation approach is used to study the quantum noise of optical solitons in an asymmetric fiber Sagnac interferometer (a highly transmissive nonlinear optical loop mirror). Analytical expressions for the three second-order quadrature correlators are derived and used to predict the amount of detectable amplitude squeezing along with the optimum power-splitting ratio of the Sagnac interferometer. We find that it is the number-phase correlation owing to the Kerr nonlinearity that is primarily responsible for the observable noise reduction. The group-velocity dispersion affecting the field in the nonsoliton arm of the fiber interferometer is shown to limit the minimum achievable Fano factor.
