Spatio-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...
متن کاملSingle-photon spontaneous parametric down-conversion in quadratic nonlinear waveguide arrays
We describe spontaneous parametric down-conversion of a single-photon pump in quadratic nonlinear waveguides and waveguide arrays, taking into account spectral broadening of the signal and idler photons. We perform a detailed analysis of the photon-pair intensities, spectra and spatial correlations for different types of phase-matching conditions and identify suppression of Rabi-like oscillatio...
متن کاملDispersion-based control of modal characteristics for parametric down-conversion in a multimode waveguide.
We report generation of near-infrared photon pairs in fundamental spatial modes via type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion in a periodically poled potassium titanyl phosphate (KTiOPO(4)) nonlinear waveguide supporting multiple transverse modes. This demonstrates experimentally a versatile scheme for controlling the spatial characteristics of the produced nonclassical light based on expl...
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...
