• Abstract: Bright squeezed light can be generated in optical fibers utilizing the Kerr effect for ultrashort laser pulses. However, pulse propagation in a fiber is subject to nonconservative effects that deteriorate the squeezing. Here, we analyze two-mode polarization squeezing, which is SU(2)-invariant, robust against technical perturbations, and can be generated in a polarization-maintaining fiber. We perform a rigorous numerical optimization of the process and the pulse parameters using our advanced model of quantum pulse evolution in the fiber that includes various nonconservative effects and real fiber data. Numerical results are consistent with experimental results.

  We investigate the Kerr nonlinearity impact on the performance of a frequency-multiplexed Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) The Kerr nonlinearity facilitates the randomized neuron connections allowing for efficient information mixing. We introduce a model to show that, in frequency-multiplexed ELMs, the Kerr nonlinearity mixes information via four-wave mixing, rather than via self- or cross-phase modulation.

  Single-mode optical fibres exhibit a small but non-negligible birefringence that induces random polarisation rotations during light propagation. In classical interferometry these rotations give rise to polarisation-induced fading of the interferometric visibility. In this Lab Note we review an efficient method for fully compensating fibre polarisation rotations for general input states.
