Abstract

Quantum noise of optical solitons is analysed based on the exact solutions of the quantum nonlinear Schrodinger equation (QNSE) and the construction of the quantum soliton states. The noise limits are obtained for the local photon number and for the local quadrature phase amplitude. They are larger than the vacuum fluctuation. So in the fundamental soliton states the variance of the local photon number and the local quadrature phase amplitude cannot be squeezed. The soliton states with the minimum noise are quasi-coherent states, in which the quantum dispersion effects are negligible.
