Experimental observation of double-peak structure of coincidence spectra in ultra-fast Spontaneous Parametric Down Conversion
arXiv:1209.4686 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.87.013803
Abstract
The requirement on the symmetry of the biphoton wave function results in a double peak structure of the coincidence spectra of Spontaneous Parametric Down Conversion (SPDC) [1]. In this work we report the experimental observation of this effect by careful tailoring parameters of the SPDC crystal, the ultra-fast pump laser, and the measurement setup. The results are shown to be relevant to quantum state engineering of ultra-fast polarization-, or frequency-entangled mixed states.
