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 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 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 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 کاملPartial 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...
