Photon Number Statistics of Multimode Parametric Down-Conversion
arXiv:0804.0740 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.053601
Abstract
We experimentally analyze the complete photon number statistics of parametric downconversion 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 between signal and idler modes.
