Abstract
A novel method of producing squeezed vacuum uses cross phase modulatio n between a linearly polarized pump signal and the orthogonal polarize d vacuum. Here we report on such cross phase modulation using 1-nJ 150 -fs pulses from a low noise stretched pulse laser. The nonlinear mediu m was a single mode fiber and the noise reduction was 3 dB.
