Quantum Propagation in Optical Fibres,
Abstract
Quantum theory, as normally formulated, describes systems enclosed in an artificial box through its time evolution. In some systems, such as a laser, the box may be a physical element such as a cavity. In optical fibre communications the situation is somewhat different. The optical field is continuously generated by a source such as a laser. Once generated the field propagates along an optical fibre and is detected in some form of receiver at the far end.
