We experimentally demonstrate amplitude squeezed soliton utilizing intensity-dependent self-phase mod- ulation in an asymmetric Sagnac interferometer.The system,whose components are connected via ferrule connector/physical connection(FC/PC)fiber connectors,constitutes all-fiber configuration to generate squeezed soliton.Soliton amplitude reduction measured by homodyne detection is near 4.0 dB below the shot-noise level.Optimal squeezing fields in both simple and compact all-fiber configuration are obtained.
We present the all-fiber system for supercontiuum (SC) generation with picosecond pulses. By launching 1.6-ps pulses from pulsed erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) into a section of photonic crystal fiber (PCF), the spectral broadening is observed. The bandwidth of 237 nm (at 20 dB level) is achieved.
