Photonic crystal fibers (PCF) are promising for the generation of squeezed states of light with ultrashort pulses, since the dispersion properties can be tailored so that one is able to generate solitons at a chosen wavelength and small core sizes generate a large nonlinearity. We investigate the noise properties of a photonic crystal fiber with an extreme core structure (air-suspended solid-core) that can help to suppress photon-phonon interaction and increase the nonlinearity. We study the dispersion and polarization properties, spatial mode structure, Guided Acoustic Brillouin scattering (GAWBS) noise and quantum noise behavior of these fibers.
