nonlinearity in an optical fiber can generate optical pulses with continuous variable quantum correlation. However, pairwise correlation of the generated pulses in this system has not been demonstrated. Here we report a time-domain measurement of an intensity difference squeezed state generated in a fiber. With a fast response differential detection system, we show the generated twin-beam pulses are pairwisely correlated, and -3.8-dB (-8.1 dB after detection losses correction) intensity difference squeezing degree is measured in the time domain. Our result is beneficial for generating multi-mode entangled state by time-division multiplexing in fiber system.
