Spectral single photons characterization using generalized Hong, Ou and Mandel interferometry
arXiv:2110.03564 · doi:10.1080/09500340.2022.2073613
Abstract
New methods are proposed to characterize the spectral-temporal distribution of single photons. The presented protocols take advantage of spectral filtering, frequency entanglement between two single photons the one of interest and a reference, followed by the generalized Hong, Ou and Mandel interferometer. The measurement of the coincidence probability in these different schemes reveals the chronocyclic Wigner, the pseudo-Wigner distribution and the spectrogram at the single-photon level.
