Abstract

We characterize experimentally the process of bi-photons generation through spontaneous parametric down-conversion in LiNbO3 waveguide arrays. We demonstrate the formation of unique spatial-spectral distribution of photons and its dependence on phase-matching conditions.

Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion and Quantum Walks in Arrays of Quadratic Nonlinear Waveguides

Alexander S. Solntsev, Andrey A. Sukhorukov, Dragomir N. Neshev +1 more

We analyze the process of photon-pair generation with simultaneous quantum walks in a quadratic nonlinear waveguide array. We demonstrate that the spontaneous parametric down-conversion in the array allows for creating quantum states with strongly pronounced spatial correlations, which are qualitatively different from those possible in bulk crystals or through quantum walks in linear waveguide arrays. Most importantly, the photon correlations can be controlled entirely classically by varying the spatial profile of the pump beam or the phase-matching conditions.
