Abstract :
Summary form only given. Recently a new scheme was proposed and reported to reduce the quantum uncertainty of solitons below that of a coherent state by propagating them through a nonlinear fiber interferometer with an asymmetric splitting ratio. We investigated the optimum parameters of this promising scheme for quantum soliton generation, experimentally as well as theoretically.
