A 64, 031801(R) (2001) Abstract A 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 studied in detail.         Home | About the Program | Our Research | Publications | People Related MURIs | Contact © Massachusetts Institute of Technology
