Direct observation of nonclassical photon statistics in parametric down-conversion.
We employ a high quantum efficiency photon number counter to determine the photon number distribution of the output field from a parametric down-converter. The raw photocount data directly demonstrates that the source is nonclassical by 40 standard deviations, and correcting for the quantum efficiency yields a direct observation of oscillations in the photon number distribution.
متن کاملHow colors influence numbers: Photon statistics of parametric down-conversion
Parametric down-conversion PDC is a technique of ubiquitous experimental significance in the production of nonclassical, photon-number-correlated twin beams. Standard theory of PDC as a two-mode squeezing process predicts and homodyne measurements observe a thermal photon number distribution per beam. Recent experiments have obtained conflicting distributions. In this article, we explain the ob...
متن کاملPhoton number statistics of multimode parametric down-conversion.
We experimentally analyze the complete photon number statistics of parametric down-conversion and ascertain the influence of multimode effects. Our results clearly reveal a difference between single-mode theoretical description and the measured distributions. Further investigations assure the applicability of loss-tolerant photon number reconstruction and prove strict photon number correlation ...
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...
