Tailoring polarization entanglement in anisotropy-compensated SPDC
Giorgio Brida, Marco Genovese, Maria V. Chekhova +1
We show that the angular spectrum of type-II SPDC contains a continuum of maximally entangled states. For the realization of a bright source of entangled two-photon states, a stand…
Generation of different Bell states within the SPDC phase-matching bandwidth
G. Brida, M. V. Chekhova, M. Genovese +1
We study the frequency-angular lineshape for a phase-matched nonlinear process producing entangled states and show that there is a continuous variety of maximally-entangled states…
Absolute Calibration of Analog Detectors by using Parametric Down Conversion
Giorgio Brida, Maria Chekhova, Marco Genovese +3
In this paper we report our systematic study of a promising absolute calibration technique of analog photo-detectors, based on the properties of parametric down conversion. Our for…
High-Visibility Multi-Photon Interference of Classical Light
I. N. Agafonov, M. V. Chekhova, T. Sh. Iskhakov +1
It is shown that the visibility of multi-photon interference for classical sources grows rapidly with the order of interference. For three-photon and four-photon interference of tw…
Entanglement generation via phase-matched processes: different Bell states within the linewidth
G. Brida, M. V. Chekhova, M. Genovese +1
It is shown, theoretically and experimentally, that at any type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) phase matching, the decoherence-free singlet Bell state is always p…
Quantum reconstruction of an intense polarization squeezed optical state
Ch. Marquardt, J. Heersink, R. Dong +5
We perform a reconstruction of the polarization sector of the density matrix of an intense polarization squeezed beam starting from a complete set of Stokes measurements. By using…
