Introduction to the Transverse Spatial Correlations in Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion through the Biphoton Birth Zone
For the purpose of a pedagogical introduction to the spatial aspects of Spontaneous Parametric Downconversion (SPDC), we present here a detailed first-principles derivation of the transverse correlation width of photon pairs in degenerate collinear SPDC. Along the way, we discuss the quantum-optical calculation of the amplitude for the SPDC process, as well as its simplified form for nearly col...
متن کاملControlling the transverse correlation in QPM parametric down-conversion
In this work we study the transverse spatial correlation of the pair of photons generated via the process of spontaneous parametric frequency downconversion, in periodically poled non-linear crystals illuminated by a pulsed laser beam. It is well known that the two-photon state generated in quasi-phase matching (QPM) configurations depends explicitly on the characteristics of the pump beam, on ...
متن کاملMapping of periodically poled crystals via spontaneous parametric down-conversion
A new method for characterization of periodically poled crystals is developed based on spontaneous parametric down-conversion. The method is demonstrated on crystals of Y:LiNbO3, Mg:Y:LiNbO3 with non-uniform periodically poled structures, obtained directly under Czochralski growth procedure and designed for application of 1.064 μm-pumped OPO in the mid infrared range. Infrared dispersion of ref...
متن کاملTheory of spontaneous parametric down-conversion from photonic crystals
An effective-medium approach is used to derive a set of coupled-mode equations describing quadratic parametric interactions in a one-dimensional inhomogeneous medium of finite length. The solutions for both copropagating and counterpropagating interactions are used to study the quantum-mechanical process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC). An example is studied in which the inhomo...
متن کاملSpatial-to-spectral mapping in spontaneous parametric down-conversion
We put forward an approach for manipulating the spectral profile of entangled photon pairs. Such spectral properties are mediated by the geometry of noncollinear spontaneous parametric down-conversion and by selecting the appropriate spatial profile of the pump laser radiation. We show that one can translate spatial features imprinted in the pump beam into desired spectral profiles of the gener...
