Abstract

Spectral two-photon quantum interference between a thermal field and a heralded state is studied theoretically and experimentally, demonstrating visibility enhancements as a result of the contribution of multiphoton components within the heralded photon state.

Multi-photon-contributed enhanced visibility of spectral two-photon quantum interference between thermal-gradient states of light

Spectral Hong-Ou-Mandel effect is experimentally revealed between a thermal field and a heralded state. We demonstrate that multi-photon components in heralded state get engaged in quantum interference which is manifested in improved visibilities for certain mean photon numbers of the thermal field. A theoretical relationship is derived for the visibility, showing its compound dependency on the mean photon number per pulse period within the thermal field and the thermal part of the heralded state. Relying on pulsed excitation, we demonstrate an experimental approach for time-efficient acquisition of visibility. The results of this research are of potential application to high-speed remote secret key-sharing and combating the security gaps arising from multi-photon contamination.
