Bimodal Hong-Ou-Mandel Interference in Symmetric and Asymmetric Optical Systems
Cody C. Leary, Thomas Gilliss, Deepika Sundarraman
We investigate Hong-Ou-Mandel interference in symmetric and asymmetric interferometers, with the input photons prepared in arbitrary first-order spatial modes. We find that Hong-Ou-Mandel interference may occur in conjunction with mode transformation, and between distinguishable inputs.
