چکیده
A superoperator non-equilibrium Green's function formalism is presented for computing nonlinear optical processes involving any combination of classical and quantum optical modes. Closed correlation-function expressions based on superoperator time-ordering are derived for the combined effects of causal response and non-causal spontaneous fluctuations. Coherent three wave mixing (sum frequency generation and parametric down conversion) involving one and two quantum optical modes, respectively, are compared with their incoherent counterparts: two-photon-induced fluorescence and two-photon-emitted fluorescence.

Faithful entanglement swapping based on sum-frequency generation.
We show that an entanglement swapping operation performed with spontaneous parametric down-conversion can be made faithful without postselection using sum-frequency generation. This invites us to revisit the sum-frequency process and from a proof-of-principle experiment, we demonstrate that it provides a realistic solution for nonlinear optics at the single-photon level. This opens the way to a...
متن کاملHigh-flux photon-pair source from electrically induced parametric down conversion after second-harmonic generation in single optical superlattice.
We present here a possible high-flux photon-pair source constructed by single lithium niobate optical superlattice (OSL) with a combined quasi-periodically and periodically poled structure, which is from the principle of electrically induced parametric down conversion (PDC) after second-harmonic generation (SHG), predicted by the united theory developed in this paper, in which SHG, PDC and elec...
متن کاملProperties of pulsed entangled two-photon fields
The dependence of oneand two-photon characteristics of pulsed entangled two-photon fields generated in spontaneous parametric down-conversion on the pump-pulse properties (shape of the pumppulse spectrum and its internal structure) is examined. It is shown that entangled two-photon fields with defined properties can be generated. A general relation between the spectra of the down-converted fiel...
متن کاملSingle-crystal sum-frequency-generating optical parametric oscillator
We report a synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator that generates the sum frequency of the pump and the signal wavelengths. A single KTiOPO4 (KTP) crystal is used for both parametric generation and sumfrequency generation in which these two processes are simultaneously phase matched for the same direction of propagation. The parametric oscillator, pumped by a femtosecond Ti:sapphire...
متن کاملTotal teleportation of a single-photon state
Recent demonstrations of teleportation have transferred quantum information encoded into either polarization or fieldquadrature degrees of freedom (DOFs), but an outstanding question is how to simultaneously teleport quantum information encoded into multiple DOFs. We describe how the transverse-spatial, spectral and polarization states of a single photon can be simultaneously teleported using a...
