Quantum Noise Suppression in Two Dimensional Photonic Crystal Fibers

Abstract:

In this paper we present the basic theory of nonlinear photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) with a focus on theoretical aspects of generating squeezed light using Kerr effect. The FDTD method is employed to study the guided modes of em field propagation in PCF. The degree of squeezing is determined using correlations function corresponding to the fields of light. It is shown that noise in a squeezed light is reduced to about 24% below the minimum noise observed in coherent light.
