Two beams of collinear type-I biphotons generated via spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) from coherent pump beams are transformed without a loss into a state of correlated photons with orthogonal (in the general case, elliptical) polarizations. This alternative state manifests remarkable properties: while having the spectrum of type-I SPDC, it has polarization properties similar to type-II SPDC. To test the state, we use the anticorrelation effect (``anticorrelation dip'').

Measurement of the spectral properties of the two-photon state generated via type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion

Yoon-Ho Kim, Warren P. Grice

We report the complete measurement of the spectral properties of photon pairs generated via spontaneous parametric down-conversion. The measurements, which include not only single-photon spectra, but also two-photon joint spectra, were performed for both cw and ultrafast pumping configurations. In agreement with theoretical predictions, the spectra for the ultrafast pumped case reveal asymmetries not present with cw pumping.

Measurement of the spectral properties of the two-photon state generated via type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion

Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) is the most often used source of entangled photon states in quantum optics. Recently, it has been suggested in theory that the reduction of polarization entanglement between the photon pair generated via the type-II SPDC process pumped by a ultrafast laser is due to the asymmetry in the joint spectrum function, which is the indicative of the frequency entanglement between the two photons. In this paper, we report the measurement of the joint spectrum function (i.e., direct observation of the degree of frequency entanglement) of the two-photon state of type-II SPDC in both cw- and ultrafast-laser pumping conditions. We observed that, in agreement with the theory, the degree of frequency entanglement (the shape of the joint spectrum function) is indeed different for cw- and ultrafast-pumped type-II SPDC. Our results are of importance in "engineering" the two-photon state for specific quantum applications, such as quantum cryptography.
