Exploring ultra broadband bi-photons produced by four wave mixing: from classical to quantum

Abstract

We demonstrate two-photon interference with bi-photons produced by FWM. We explore the quantum / classical nature of the light by observing the loss dependence of the interference contrast at various intensities across the quantum-to-classical transition.

Classical-to-Quantum Transition with Broadband Four-Wave Mixing

Rafi Z. Vered, Yaakov Shaked, Yelena Ben-Or +2 more

A key question of quantum optics is how nonclassical biphoton correlations at low power evolve into classical coherence at high power. Direct observation of the crossover from quantum to classical behavior is desirable, but difficult due to the lack of adequate experimental techniques that cover the ultrawide dynamic range in photon flux from the single photon regime to the classical level. We investigate biphoton correlations within the spectrum of light generated by broadband four-wave mixing over a large dynamic range of ∼80 dB in photon flux across the classical-to-quantum transition using a two-photon interference effect that distinguishes between classical and quantum behavior. We explore the quantum-classical nature of the light by observing the interference contrast dependence on internal loss and demonstrate quantum collapse and revival of the interference when the four-wave mixing gain in the fiber becomes imaginary.

Demonstration of the Quantum Response to Loss with Ultra-Broadband Bi-Photons Interference

Yaakov Shaked, Avi Pe’er

By using an ultra-broad (100THz) bi-photon source and a pairwise interferometer, we measure the bi-photons spectral phase and amplitude, and demonstrate the quantum dependence of the interference contrast on internal loss.

Complete Measurement of the Two-Photon Wave Function using High Contrast Quantum Interference

Exploiting quantum pairwise interference, we measure the spectral phase of ultra broadband entangled photon pairs. The nonclassical nature of the interference is manifested by observing the reduction of fringe contrast as linear loss is introduced.

Two-Photon Correlation and Time-Frequency Coupling in Broadband Four Wave Mixing

We precisely measure the time-energy correlation of broadband, spontaneously generated four waves mixing, and demonstrate surprising intensity dependent splitting of the correlation in both time and frequency and coupling effects between the domains.
