We analyze the amplification processes occurring in a nonlinear fiber, either driven with one or two pumps. After determining the solution for the signal and idler fields resulting from these amplification processes, we analyze the physical transformations that these fields undergo. To this aim, we use a Bloch-Messiah decomposition for the symplectic transformation governing the fields evolution. Although conceptually equivalent to other works in this area [McKinstrie and Karlsson, Opt. Expr. 21, 1374 (2013)], this analysis is intended to be particularly simple, gathering results spread in the literature, which is useful for guiding practical implementations. Furthermore, we present a study of the correlations of the signal-idler fields at the amplifier output. We show that these fields are correlated, study their correlations as a function of the pump power, and stress the impact of these correlations on the amplifier noise figure. Finally, we address the effect of losses. We determine whether it is advantageous to consider a link consisting in an amplifying non-linear fiber, followed by a standard fiber based lossy transmission line, or whether the two elements should be reversed, by comparing the respective noise figures.

We put forth an approach to obtain a quantum master equation for the propagation of light in nonlinear fiber optics by relying on simple quantum pictures of the processes (linear and nonlinear) occurring along propagation in an optical fiber. This eq uation is shown to be in excellent agreement with the classical Generalized Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation and predicts the effects of self-steepening and spontaneous Raman scattering. Last, we apply these results to the analysis of two cases of relevance in quantum technologies: single-photon frequency translation and spontaneous four-wave mixing.
A general prescription for the treatment of constrained quantum motion is outlined. We consider in particular constraints defined by algebraic submanifolds of the quantum state space. The resulting formalism is applied to obtain solutions to the cons trained dynamics of systems of multiple spin-1/2 particles. When the motion is constrained to a certain product space containing all of the energy eigenstates, the dynamics thus obtained are quasi-unitary in the sense that the equations of motion take a form identical to that of unitary motion, but with different boundary conditions. When the constrained subspace is a product space of disentangled states, the associated motion is more intricate. Nevertheless, the equations of motion satisfied by the dynamical variables are obtained in closed form.
We propose a three dimensional Discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin Maxwell approach for modeling Raman gain in fiber laser amplifiers. In contrast with popular beam propagation models, we are interested in a truly full vectorial approach. We apply the ultr aweak DPG formulation, which is known to carry desirable properties for high-frequency wave propagation problems, to the coupled Maxwell signal/pump system and use a nonlinear iterative scheme to account for the Raman gain. This paper also introduces a novel and practical full-vectorial formulation of the electric polarization term for Raman gain that emphasizes the fact that the computer modeler is only given a measured bulk Raman gain coefficient. Our results provide promising qualitative corroboration of the model and methodology used.
We demonstrate the stabilization of two-dimensional nonlinear wave patterns by means of a dissipative confinement potential. Our analytical and numerical analysis, based on the generalized dissipative Gross-Pitaevskii equation, makes use of the close analogy between the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate and that of mode-locked fiber laser, operating in the anomalous dispersion regime. In the last case, the formation of stable two-dimensional patterns corresponds to spatiotemporal mode-locking, using dissipation-enhanced mode cleaning. We analyze the main scenarios of pattern destabilization, varying from soliton dissolution to its splitting and spatiotemporal turbulence, and their dependence on graded dissipation.
We present a proof-of-concept experiment aimed at increasing the sensitivity of temperature sensors implemented with Fiber Bragg gratings by making use of a weak value amplification scheme. The technique requires only linear optics elements for its i mplementation, and appears as a promising method for extending the range of temperatures changes detectable to increasingly lower values than state-of the-art sensors can currently provide. The device implemented here is able to generate a shift of the centroid of the spectrum of a pulse of $mathrm{sim 0.035,nm/^{circ}C}$, a nearly fourfold increase in sensitivity over the same Fiber Bragg Grating system interrogated using standard methods.
