Abstract
A theory based on the linearization approximation of solitons that explains the observed photon-number squeezing obtained from the spectral filtering after nonlinear propagation through a fiber is presented. A back propagation method was developed to calculate the filtered noise and the continuum makes an essential contribution that leads to oscillation in the photon-number squeezing with input pulse power. The continuum enhances the squeezing over a range of propagation distances. The quantum-noise continuum decays asymptotically with a distance. The generation of continuum radiation when a propagating soliton encounters a piece of fiber with higher nonlinearity solves the quantum noise problem.
