Cross phase modulation squeezing in optical fibers.
A novel method of producing squeezed vacuum uses cross phase modulation between a linearly polarized pump signal and the orthogonal polarized vacuum. Here we report on such cross phase modulation using 1-nJ 150-fs pulses from a low noise stretched pulse laser. The nonlinear medium was a single mode fiber and the noise reduction was 3 dB.
