Experimental evidence of X-shaped spatiotemporal coherence of superfluorescence radiation

Abstract

Considering the parametric generation process in a quadratic nonlinear crystal, we report the experimental observation of optical waves characterized by a X-shaped spatiotemporal coherence, i.e. a coherence skewed along spatiotemporal trajectories.

X -shaped space-time coherence in optical parametric generation

Ottavia Jedrkiewicz, Matteo Clerici, Antonio Picozzi +2 more

We study the spatiotemporal coherence properties of superfluorescence radiation generated in optical parametric amplification of quantum noise. We show that the angular dispersion properties of the spatiotemporal spectra, measured in different phase-matching conditions, lead to a clear $X$-shaped structure of the mutual correlation function of the radiation. Within a statistical picture, we interpret the generated superfluorescence as a stochastic ``gas'' of quasistationary modes characterized by a skewed correlation in the spatiotemporal domain, with characteristics similar to linear and nonlinear $X$ waves not describable within a separable approach in space and time.

Skewed coherence along space-time trajectories in parametric generation processes

Considering the spatio-temporal problem of the parametric generation process, we show theoretically that the down-converted fields exhibit, as a general rule, a hidden coherence characterized by skewed coherence lines alone specific space-time trajectories.

Hidden Coherence Along Space-Time Trajectories in Parametric Wave Mixing

Antonio Picozzi, Marc Haelterman

We show theoretically that the waves generated through the generic parametric three- or four-wave-mixing processes exhibit, as a general rule, a hidden coherence characterized by skewed coherence lines along specific space-time trajectories. Our study generalizes the concept of coherence in the sense that these previously unrecognized coherent states cannot be described through the standard definitions of spatial and temporal coherence.

Quantum Optical Measurements with Classical Nonlinear Optics

The quantum-correlated photon pairs that would be generated by a nonlinear optical device, were it operated in the quantum regime, can be characterized by nonlinear optical experiments done on the device in the classical regime.

We study the spatiotemporal coherence properties of superfluorescence radiation generated in optical parametric amplification of quantum noise. We show that the angular dispersion properties of the spatiotemporal spectra, measured in different phase-matching conditions, lead to a clear XXX-shaped structure of the mutual correlation function of the radiation. Within a statistical picture, we interpret the generated superfluorescence as a stochastic ``gas'' of quasistationary modes characterized by a skewed correlation in the spatiotemporal domain, with characteristics similar to linear and nonlinear XXX waves not describable within a separable approach in space and time.
