Abstract
We report 5.1 dB of squeezing from a fiber interferometer pumped with a 1-GHz pulse source that successfully eliminates guided-acoustic-wave Brillouin scattering in significant frequency regimes. The pulse sour ce is a diode-pumped Nd:YLF laser actively mode locked at 1.314 mum. T he squeezing results are consistent with the limits imposed by the Gau ssian pulse shape and the detection quantum efficiency.
