Two-Photon Correlation of Imperfectly Mode-Locked Pulses.

Yoko Miyamoto, Masahiro Matsuoka

The Gaussian noise burst model and the domain model for imperfectly mode-locked pulses are examined through comparison with two types of two-photon correlation experiments. These models are known to agree with autocorrelation measurements using nonlinear optical methods. The Gaussian noise burst model does not give correct results for the pulse-cycleaveraged, normalized second-order correlation function at zero time-delay, and the domain model fails to explain the two-component dip in coincidence count rate curves obtained with the interferometer configuration.

Measurement of ultrafast optical pulses with two-photon interference

Y. Miyamoto, T. Kuga, M. Baba +1 more

We introduce a new two-photon interference scheme for measurement of the coherence time and pulse width of ultrafast pulses. Experiments were performed with the output pulses of a cw mode-locked dye laser, with results in good agreement with the conventional second-harmonic autocorrelation measurement.

Mode-locked biphoton generation by concurrent quasi-phase-matching

Y. F. Bai, Ping Xu, Zhenda Xie +2 more

We report a scheme for mode-locked biphoton generation by engineering quasi-phase-matching materials. An aperiodically poled lithium tantalate is designed to supply multiple reciprocal vectors for two-photon frequency comb generation. Temporally, such two-photon state exhibits mode-locked pulse train. The two-photon pulse duration reaches 4.2 fs when the frequency comb is centered at 800 nm and covers 442 nm. The HOM interference of the mode-locked biphoton approaches a 1.26-$\ensuremath{\mu}$m dip and exhibits a reappearance of dip and peak, which can be taken as a new scheme for engineering quantum light source. Furthermore, we also design another aperiodically poled crystal to generate two sets of frequency combs. The HOM interference will appear as a revival of spatial beatings. The mode-locked biphotons suggest applications in precise time synchronization, quantum metrology, quantum optical coherence tomography, and quantum computing.
