Abstract
We discuss various aspects of quantum propagation effects in optical fibres. Self phase modulation is shown to give quadrature squeezing for small values of the classical nonlinear phase shift. At high values of the phase shift this squeezing is destroyed and the coherent state develops into a state which does not have minimum uncertainty.
