YIP: Fundamental Limitations on Quantum Noise Reduction in Optical Fibers
Abstract
Recent explosive advances in the manufacturing of optical fibers and related fiber optic components have made them essential to many emerging technologies, including high speed communication systems, bandwidth intensive data transmission, and sensor applications. As these technology fields progress toward achieving ultra-high data rate transmission and enhanced sensitivity, the performances of key fiber optic devices and systems are rapidly approaching fundamental physical limitations. Our overall objective in this ONR sponsored research is to explore the physical nature of noise processes in optical fibers, in particular quantum fluctuations, and reach a level of understanding that can be employed in the future engineering of sensors and networks.
