Two-Photon Correlations of Broadband Four Wave Mixing

Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate the precise time energy correlation of light generated by ultrabroad four waves mixing in a photonic crystal fiber. Ultra broadband sum frequency generation serves as an ultrafast detector of both the time and frequency correlation.

Two-Photon Correlation of Spontaneously Generated Broadband Four-Waves Mixing

Rafi Z. Vered, M. Rosenbluh, Avi Pe’er

We measure the time-energy correlation of broadband, spontaneously generated four wave mixing (FWM), and demonstrate novel time-frequency coupling effects; specifically, we observe a power-dependent splitting of the correlation in both energy and time. By pumping a photonic crystal fiber with narrowband picosecond pulses we generate FWM in a unique regime, where broadband (>100nm), sidebands are generated that are incoherent, yet time-energy correlated. Although the observed time-energy correlation in FWM is conceptually similar to parametric down conversion, its unique dependence on pump intensity due to self and cross phase modulation effects, yields spectral and temporal structure in the correlations. While these effects are minute compared to the time duration and bandwidth of the FWM sidebands, they are well observed using sum frequency generation as a precise, ultrafast, wide-bandwidth correlation detector.

Two-photon correlation of broadband-amplified spontaneous four-wave mixing

Rafi Z. Vered, M. Rosenbluh, Avi Pe’er

We measure the time-energy correlation of broadband, spontaneously seeded four-wave mixing (FWM), and demonstrate time-frequency coupling effects; specifically, we observe a power-dependent splitting of the correlation in both energy and time. By pumping a photonic crystal fiber with narrowband picosecond pulses we generate FWM in a unique regime, where broadband ($>100$ nm) sidebands are generated that are incoherent, yet time-energy correlated. Although the observed time-energy correlation in FWM is conceptually similar to parametric down-conversion, its unique dependence on pump intensity due to self- and cross-phase-modulation effects yields spectral and temporal structure in the correlations. While these effects are minute compared to the time duration and bandwidth of the FWM sidebands, they are well observed using sum-frequency generation as a precise, ultrafast, wide-bandwidth correlation detector.

We describe ultrafast detection of quantum correlations using broadband sum-frequency generation as a physical two-mode detector. We apply the detection scheme to measurement of broadband squeezing and to phase estimation at the Heisenber limit.

Broadband quantum light on a fiber-optic platform: from biphotons and heralded single photons to bright squeezed vacuum

Kirill Viktorovich Petrovnin, Maksim A. Smirnov, И. В. Федотов +8 more

Abstract Four-wave mixing (FWM) of ultrashort laser pulses in a highly nonlinear photonic-crystal fiber is shown to provide a multimodal source of broadband quantum states of light. In the regime of low pump powers, generation of two-photon states and heralded single photons with a bandwidth up to ≈6 THz is demonstrated within an FWM-sideband tunability range of ≈55 THz. In the modality of heralded single-photon generation, three-detector measurements of the conditional second-order correlation function reveal a strong antibunching in the signal-photon channel, with more than 99.2% of the signal counts identified as truly single-photon states. At high pump powers, two-detector signal-idler correlation function measurements indicate broadband bright squeezed vacuum generation.

Designing the Structure of Photonic Crystal Fibers for the Generation of Broadband Single Photon States

И. А. Чуприна, Латыпов Ильнур Зиннурович

Structures of photonic crystal fibers are proposed for the generation of broadband single photon states using the process of spontaneous four-wave mixing. New types of structures are modeled mathematically. The spectral and correlation characteristics of the generated states are calculated.
