Quantization of propagating modes in optical fibres

• The electromagnetic fields of a single optic fibre mode are quantized based on the observationthat these fields can be derived from a scalar harmonic oscillator function depending on onlytime and the axial wavenumber. Asymptotic results for both the one-photon probabilitydensity and two-photon correlation density functions within the forward light cone arepresented, showing an algebraic decay for large times or distances. This algebraic decay,increasing the uncertainty in the arrival time of the photons, also remains in the presence ofdispersion shift, in qualitative agreement with experimental results. Also presented are explicitformulae to be used in parameter studies to optimize quantum optic fibre communications.
