Measuring Photon Bunching at Ultrashort Timescale by Two-Photon Absorption in Semiconductors

Fabien Boitier, Antoine Godard, Jean C. Bonnet +2 more

Photon bunching in highly chaotic sources (true blackbody and amplified spontaneous emission) is detected for the first time with femtosecond temporal resolution by use of a Hanbury-Brown-Twiss experiment relying on two-photon absorption in semiconductors.

Recovering the Hidden Photon Bunching from Two-Photon Absorption Based on Polarization Modulation

Sheng Luo, Wanting Xu, Yu Ling Zhou +2 more

The polarization modulation is employed to recover the hidden photon bunching effect of broadband chaotic light at ultrashort timescale based on two-photon absorption detector. Not only the hidden second-order coherence function in the two-photon absorption counting can be obtained, but also the disappeared two-photon interference pattern based on two-photon absorption detection can be recovered. In theory, polarization matrix and two-photon interference probability amplitudes matrix are combined to develop polarized two-photon interference terms, which is in good agreement with the experimental results. The proposed method may help to develop future optical interferometry, optical polarimetry.
