R. Hui et M. Osullivan, NOISE SQUEEZING DUE TO KERR-EFFECT NONLINEARITIES IN OPTICAL FIBERS WITH NEGATIVE DISPERSION, Electronics Letters, 32(21), 1996, pp. 2001-2003
A reduction of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) related relative i
ntensity noise (RIN) is observed to be caused by modulation instabilit
y on negatively dispersive fibres for the first time. Good agreement i
s obtained between experimental results and a new analytical model.
