Modulation and Measurement of Time-Energy Entangled Photons

Abstract

We describe a proof-of-principal experiment demonstrating a Fourier technique for measuring the shape of biphoton wavepackets that vary rapidly as compared to the speed of available photon detectors. The technique uses synchronously driven telecommunication modulators.

Nonlocal modulation of entangled photons

Stephen E. Harris

We consider ramifications of the use of high-speed light modulators to questions of correlation and measurement of time-energy entangled photons. Using phase modulators, we find that temporal modulation of one photon of an entangled pair, as measured by correlation in the frequency domain, may be negated or enhanced by modulation of the second photon. Using amplitude modulators, we describe a Fourier technique for measurement of biphoton wave functions with slow detectors.

Modulation of Single Photons and Biphotons

We generate photons with sub-natural linewidths and temporal lengths that are sufficiently long that they may be easily modulated. Results include a new technique for measuring the temporal shape of biphotons. Article not Available.

We propose and demonstrate a new method for temporal characterization of entangled photons based on electro-optic modulation and time shifting. Our technique reduces the resolution limits induced by the large timing jitters in single-photon detectors.

Electro-optic modulation for high-speed characterization of entangled photon pairs

Joseph M. Lukens, Ogaga D. Odele, Daniel E. Leaird +1 more

We demonstrate a new biphoton manipulation and characterization technique based on electro-optic intensity modulation and time shifting. By applying fast modulation signals with a sharply peaked cross-correlation to each photon from an entangled pair, it is possible to measure temporal correlations with significantly higher precision than that attainable using standard single-photon detection. Low-duty-cycle pulses and maximal-length sequences are considered as modulation functions, reducing the time spread in our correlation measurement by a factor of five compared to our detector jitter. With state-of-the-art electro-optic components, we expect the potential to surpass the speed of any single-photon detectors currently available.
