Abstract
One of the most promising applications for squeezed light is interferometry beyond the shot-noise limit (SNL). To date, only squeezed light generated by parametric down-conversion has been used to improve interferometer sensitivity. Remarkable results have been achieved with this approach, including applications to large-scale gravitational wave detectors. On the other hand, there exists a potentially more robust way to generate squeezed light, that is, using the optical Kerr effect. It occurs almost for free in optical fibers and requires no phase matching. However, no interferometer sensitivity enhancement has been demonstrated so far using this method. One of the reasons for that is that the uncertainty distribution of a Kerr-squeezed state in phase space is tilted with respect to the amplitude or phase quadratures. Additional obstacles include Raman and guided acoustic wave Brillouin scattering in fibers.
