We report on the first observation of quantum interference in the spectrum of biphotons emitted via spontaneous parametric down-conversion from [110]-GaAs metasur-faces, enabled by an order of magnitude enhanced photon-pair generation rate.

We offer a comprehensive theoretical study of the properties and applications of modal, spectral, and polarization entanglement of biphotons generated via spontaneous parametric down-conversion in 1-D planar and 2-D circular waveguides using continuous pumping.

Summary form only given. Consider a pair of collinear frequency-degenerate photons-a biphoton, which can be obtained by spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC). Its state vector/sup 1/ is |/spl Psi/>=C/sub 1/|2,0>+C/sub 2/|0,2>+C/sub 3/|1,1>, (1) with |n,m>, n+m=2 denoting n H-polarized photons and m V-polarized photons. The first and the second terms describe type-I biphotons (correlated photons have similar H or V polarizations), and the third one describes type-II biphotons (correlated photons have orthogonal polarizations). In the present work we study an anticorrelation properties of the artificially synthesized type-II biphotons.

Quantum diffraction and interference of biphotons generated by parametric down conversion

Ryōsuke Shimizu, Keiichi Edamatsu, T. Itoh

Summary form only given. We demonstrate a proof-of-principle experiment of quantum lithography utilizing parametric down-converted photons and a transmission grating, and show that the diffraction of a multiphoton state can be also explained by the concept of the photonic de Broglie wave. Pairs of frequency-degenerate photons were collinearly generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in a 5 mm long KNbO/sub 3/ (KN) crystal pumped by the second harmonic light of a single longitudinal mode Ti:sapphire laser operating at 861.5 nm. The photon pairs were diffracted by a transmission grating (slit width: 125 /spl mu/m, period: 250 /spl mu/m), placed just after the KN crystal. In this geometry, each photon pair passes together through one of the grating slits. By rotating a mirror, we recorded spatial diffraction-interference patterns at a two-photon detector consisting of two avalanche photodiodes. For comparison, we also observed diffraction-interference patterns of chaotic light from a tungsten lamp using the same apparatus.
