Abstract

We demonstrate a source of entangled photon pairs with identical frequency spectra. An Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometric measurement of this source shows a high visibility of 85% under pulsed pumping and without any spectral filtering.

Two-Photon Coincident-Frequency Entanglement via Extended Phase Matching

We demonstrate a new class of frequency-entangled states generated via spontaneous parametric down-conversion under extended phase-matching conditions. Biphoton entanglement with coincident signal and idler frequencies is observed over a broad bandwidth in periodically poled KTiOPO4. We demonstrate high visibility in Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometric measurements under pulsed pumping without spectral filtering, which indicates excellent frequency indistinguishability between the down-converted photons. The coincident-frequency entanglement source is useful for quantum information processing and quantum measurement applications.

High-visibility interference between two heralded pure-state photons without spectral filtering

Changchen Chen, Jeffrey H. Shapiro, Franco N. C. Wong

We measure 90% visibility in Hong-Ou-Mandel interference between two independent heralded single photons from pulsed spontaneous parametric downconversion with a Gaussian spectral phase-matching profile, and study its dependence on the pump spectral properties.

We demonstrate that entangled states are able to significantly extend the functionality of integrated Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometers and give rise an antibunching peak and rapid oscillation fringes with twice the optical frequency in the coincidence probability.

Intrinsic pure single-photon source and its nonclassical interference with weak coherent photons

We report the generation of pure single‐photon state in the process of spontaneous parametric down‐conversion with extended phase‐matching condition. The measured joint spectral distribution of the photon pairs shows a high purity of the state we prepared. A visibility of 89.4± 0.5% was achieved without any spectral filtering in a nonclassical Hong‐Ou‐Mandel interference between pure heralded single photons and weak coherent photons.
