Abstract
We develop a fully spatio-temporal numerical model, based on stochastic simulations, simulating the generation of spatio-temporal multimode spontaneous parametric down conversion, the propagation of the signal and idler beams through a Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer and the detection of the outgoing beams with two separate detectors arrays. Spatial and temporal properties of the two-photon interference are investigated by measuring the spatial distribution of the momenta coincidence counts between the time integrated outgoing far-field images and a full spatio-temporal HOM dip is exhibited. Numerical results also demonstrate that the spatio-temporal coherence properties of bi-photon wave packets can be fully characterized with detectors arrays with no temporal resolution.
