Abstract

A quantum treatment of soliton squeezing based on the linearization approximation has been carried out numerically.2 are recast more naturally. The new formulation also provides a general approach to calculation of detection noise. With the projection interpretation of homodyne detection, the squeezing ratio can be easily calculated by applying the propagation operator to the characteristic function of homodyne detection instead of the perturbation field operator. All the results in Ref. 1 also can be reproduced naturally. Finally, numerical analysis of fiber ring gyros using squeezed solitons and analysis of modelocked lasers are presented.
