Transverse coincidence-structures in spontaneous parametric down-conversion with orbital angular momentum: Theory
arXiv:0706.0894 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.76.033821
Abstract
Coincidence-structures in the transverse plane of Type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion carrying orbital angular momentum are obtained. Azimuthal symmetry breaking around the pump beam direction reveals itself on these quantum images. Analytical expressions for the amplitude probability of the down conversion process are shown including the nonlinear polarizability components.
