First-order interference of nonclassical light emitted spontaneously at different times
arXiv:quant-ph/9911014 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.61.051803
Abstract
We study first-order interference in spontaneous parametric down-conversion generated by two pump pulses that do not overlap in time. The observed modulation in the angular distribution of the signal detector counting rate can only be explained in terms of a quantum mechanical description based on biphoton states. The condition for observing interference in the signal channel is shown to depend on the parameters of the idler radiation.
