Abstract
We studied the theoretical possibility of generating single-photon states in fibers with active profile dispersion formed by spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM) using femtosecond laser pulses. The possibility of eliminating the spectral correlation for single-photon states generated in commercial fibers was assessed. To model the structure of photonic crystal fibers and the modes of SFWM generation, an optimization was performed on the parameters of the pump and the fiber structure.
