Abstract
Solitons in optical fibres are stable objects when described classically. The quantum properties,[1] however, change with propagation distance due to Kerr and Raman induced intrapulse correlations. It is demonstrated that spectral filters and interferometers can be used to control the quantum properties of 130 fs solitons. This lends to the generation of many photon states of the light field with non-classical noise reduction and quantum entanglement for application in quantum communication.
