- Abstract
- We investigate polarization squeezing of ultrashort pulses in optical fibre, over a wide range of input energies and fibre lengths. Comparisons are made between experimental data and quantum dynamical simulations to find good quantitative agreement. The numerical calculations, performed using both truncated Wigner and exact +P phase-space methods, include nonlinear and stochastic Raman effects, through coupling to phonon variables. The simulations reveal that excess phase noise, such as from depolarizing guided acoustic wave Brillouin scattering, affects squeezing at low input energies, while Raman effects cause a marked deterioration of squeezing at higher energies and longer fibre lengths. We also calculate the optimum fibre length for maximum squeezing.
