Abstract

Two theoretical models for frequency conversion (FC) using nondegenerate four-wave mixing are compared, and their range of validity are discussed. Quantum-state-preserving FC allows for arbitrary reshaping of states for an appropriate pump selection.

Nondegenerate four-wave mixing driven by two pulsed pumps transfers the quantum state of an input signal pulse to an output idler pulse, which is a frequency-converted and reshaped version of the signal. By varying the pump shapes appropriately, one can connect signal and idler pulses with arbitrary durations and shapes. This process enables a variety of functions required by quantum information networks.

Using a theoretical model, we investigate the impact due to Raman scattering on frequency conversion obtained via Bragg scattering four-wave mixing in optical fibers. We predict the second order correlation functions and show that by using a specific polarization configuration of the pumps and signal it is possible to significantly mitigate the impact of Raman scattering by reducing the second order correlation function by at least a factor of two.

Nondegenerate four-wave mixing driven by two pulsed pumps transfers the quantum state of an input signal pulse to an output idler pulse, which is a frequency-translated and reshaped version of the signal. By varying the pump shapes appropriately, one can connect signal and idler pulses with arbitrary durations and shapes. This process enables a variety of functions required by quantum information networks.
