摘要：

A short piece of commercial-grade SMF-28 optical fiber is pumped with a 680 ps high-peak power green laser. Red Stokes and blue anti-Stokes beams are generated spontaneously from vacuum noise in different modes in the fiber via intermodal four-wave mixing. Detailed experimental and theoretical analyses are performed and are in reasonable agreement. The large spectral shifts from the pump protect the Stokes and anti-Stokes from contamination by spontaneous Raman scattering noise. This work highlights the predictive power and limitations of a theoretical model to explain the experimental results for a process that relies on the amplification of quantum vacuum energy over more than 11 orders of magnitude.
