Abstract

We demonstrate that telecom band photon pairs with a factorable joint spectrum can be generated via inter-modal spontaneous four-wave mixing in a two-mode few-mode fiber supporting the LP01 and LP11 spatial modes.

mode, respectively, via the spontaneous intermodal four-wave mixing in a 100-m-long few-mode fiber. We achieve a coincidence to accidental-coincidence ratio of 28, which clearly indicates the existence of quantum correlation. We also discuss the contribution of spontaneous Raman scattering to the background noise of photon pairs. Our source of photon pairs, compatible with the low-loss multiplexing and de-multiplexing components for space division multiplexing optical fiber communication, can be used for generating higher-dimensional entanglement.
