Abstract

Pulsed squeezing in lossless optical fiber with Kerr nonlinearity and chromatic dispersion is numerically simulated by the use of the linearization approximation. The formalism developed here allows us to predict squeezing for an arbitrary initial complex pulse envelope in a fiber with nonlinearity and dispersion. The results show that squeezing is not necessarily reduced by large temporal and spectral distortions of the pulse caused by dispersion and can even be enhanced in certain cases.
