Squeezing in a fiber interferometer with a gigahertz pump.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report 5.1 dB of squeezing from a fiber interferometer pumped with a 1-GHz pulse source that successfully eliminates guided-acoustic-wave Brillouin scattering in significant frequency regimes. The pulse source is a diode-pumped Nd:YLF laser actively mode locked at 1.314 microm. The squeezing results are consistent with the limits imposed by the Gaussian pulse shape and the detection quantum efficiency.

Fiber gyro with squeezed radiation
Received December 11, 1990; revised manuscript received April 30, 1991 A pulse-excited Sagnac fiber interferometer can perform squeezing. If this squeezed radiation is injected into a second Sagnac interferometer that is functioning as a fiber gyro that is itself nonlinear, additional unfavorable squeezing occurs in the gyro. By proper phase adjustment of the injected squeezed radiation it is p...
متن کاملSoliton squeezing in a highly transmissive nonlinear optical loop mirror: errata.
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 interfero...
متن کاملSoliton Squeezing in a Mach-Zehnder Fiber Interferometer
A new scheme for generating amplitude squeezed light by means of soliton self-phase modulation is experimentally demonstrated. By injecting 180-fs pulses into an equivalent Mach-Zehnder fiber interferometer, a maximum noise reduction of 4.4± 0.3 dB is obtained (6.3± 0.6 dB when corrected for losses). The dependence of noise reduction on the interferometer splitting ratio and fiber length is stu...
متن کاملA novel method for polarization squeezing with Photonic Crystal Fibers.
Photonic Crystal Fibers can be tailored to increase the effective Kerr nonlinearity, while producing smaller amounts of excess noise compared to standard silicon fibers. Using these features of Photonic Crystal Fibers we create polarization squeezed states with increased purity compared to standard fiber squeezing experiments. Explicit we produce squeezed states in counter propagating pulses al...
متن کاملSub-shot-noise measurement with fiber-squeezed optical pulses.
A squeezed vacuum can enhance the sensitivity of an interferometric measurement limited by shot noise. By injecting a squeezed vacuum into the unexcited port of a phase-measuring device, and by orienting the squeezed vacuum so that its quiet quadrature is along the signal direction, the signal-to-noise ratio is improved. This was shown theoretically' 2 and demonstrated experimentally for measur...
