Partial Distinguishability in Femtosecond Optical Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion
Quantum interference is observed using femtosecond parametric down-conversion in the absence of spectral filtering of the down-converted light. The well-known symmetric dip observed in cw polarization-interferometry experiments becomes less pronounced and substantially asymmetric under such pulsed excitation. We show that this asymmetry arises from the partial distinguishability of contribution...
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...
متن کاملStrong Spectral Entanglement in Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion
Photon pairs with a high degree of spectral entanglement have a very large capacity for carrying information. We describe methods for generating this type of entanglement and discuss applications. ! 2009 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (270.5585) Quantum information and processing; (270.5565) Quantum communications. Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) has proven to be a reliabl...
متن کامل5 Non separable Werner states in spontaneous parametric down - conversion
The multiphoton states generated by high-gain spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in presence of large losses are investigated theoretically and experimentally. The explicit form for the two-photon output state has been found to exhibit a Werner structure very resilient to losses for any value of the gain parameter, g. The theoretical results are found in agreement with the experiment...
متن کاملSpatio-spectral characteristics of parametric down-conversion in waveguide arrays
High dimensional quantum states are of fundamental interest for quantum information processing. They give access to large Hilbert spaces and, in turn, enable the encoding of quantum information on multiple modes. One method to create such quantum states is parametric down-conversion (PDC) in waveguide arrays (WGAs) which allows for the creation of highly entangled photon pairs in controlled, ea...
