A squeezed light generator comprises an arbitrary optical fiber, a means
for temporally separating two linearly polarized components, two Faraday
rotators and a high-reflection mirror. Pulse lights that are temporally
separated into two orthogonally polarized components at an intensity
ratio of 50:50 are reciprocatively propagated in the optical fiber, and
the polarized light is rotated by 90.degree. in an outward transmission.
Since those two polarized components pass through the optical paths which
are accurately equal to each other in the outward and homeward
transmissions, those two polarized components interfere with each other
accurately at 50:50 after reciprocation through the fiber. The interfered
beam is separated by a polarizing beam splitter that is high in an
extinction ratio. When the polarized lights before inputting the fiber
and after reciprocating coincide with each other, it is unnecessary to
maintain the polarization in the fiber propagation, and an arbitrary
fiber can be used.
