Abstract
A model is constructed for the Raman effect as responsible for the sel f-frequency shift of solitons. The effect is related to and compared w ith the measured Raman gain in silica fibers. The model is quantized a nd includes the thermal and the quantum noise of the optical phonons g enerating the Raman effect. It is shown that the Raman effect causes e xcess noise for ultrashort pulses and limits the squeezing of subpicos econd solitons.
