Spontaneous parametric down-conversion pumped by spatiotemporal structured light

Lukas Montenegro, Rafael F. Barros

Here we investigate the all-optical control of spectral correlations in spontaneous parametric down-conversion. We show that when photon pairs are projected onto high-order spatial…

Controlling quantum entanglement with classical non-separable light

R. F. Barros, A. L. S. Santos Junior, A. Z. Khoury +1

Here we investigate the quantum frequency conversion of entangled photons driven by a classically non-separable laser beam. We show that the frequency conversion dynamics is descri…

Optimal beam displacement measurements using high-order structured light modes

A. L. S. Santos Junior, J. C. de Carvalho Junior, M. Gil de Oliveira +4

We develop a novel technique to measure small angular and lateral displacements of structured light beams. The technique relies on using high-order Hermite-Gaussian (HG) and Laguer…

Gouy-phase effects in the frequency combs of an optical parametric oscillator

R. F. Barros, G. B. Alves, A. Z. Khoury

We investigate the transverse mode effects on the frequency combs generated by a type-I optical parametric oscillator (OPO) below threshold. We take the diffraction effects fully i…
