Abstract

We introduce a novel experimental technique to study the interference of bi-photon joint spectral amplitudes, exploring new possibilities in quantum photonics. Our approach uniquely uncovers the intricate phase-dependent phenomena in entangled photon spectra.

We have directly measured the joint spectral phase of spontaneously emitted photon-pairs for the first time. We have devised a novel tomographic method using quantum interference of bi-photon functions. This method can potentially be used for quantum sensing.

Phase analysis of biphoton joint spectra by interference between different SPDC sources

Inbar Hurvitz, Anatoly Shukhin, Leonid Vidro +2 more

In spontaneous parametric down-conversion, the spectral correlations between the signal and the idler are expressed by the joint spectral amplitude (JSA) function. However, in the standard coincidence measurements, the phase information of the JSA is lost, and only the square of the absolute value of the JSA is recorded, thus preventing full characterization of the biphoton state. Here, we present an experimental technique to investigate the interference of biphoton joint spectral amplitudes, unlocking new avenues in quantum photonics research. Our method explores phase-dependent phenomena within entangled biphoton spectra. This is achieved by simultaneously pumping two structured nonlinear photonic crystals and observing their interference, which reveals previously inaccessible effects with direct intensity measurements. We demonstrate the versatility of our technique by analyzing two types of joint spectra: one exhibiting a two-lobe shape and the other a three-lobe shape. Additionally, we reconstruct the joint spectral amplitudes for both scenarios and observe good agreement with theoretical predictions. These results pave the way for developing advanced quantum communication and information processing technologies using biphoton spectra.

Spectral-Domain Quantum OCT with Frequency Scanning: Theoretical Proposal

Tatiana Makovetskaya, Nikolai A. Ushakov

The aim of this work is to develop a spectral-domain quantum optical coherence tomography approach, based on the control of the joint spectral amplitude of the entangled photons. An analytical expression is obtained that describes the signal of spectral quantum optical coherence tomography. The dependence of the interference signal on the change in the difference between the central frequencies of the spectral distributions of entangled photons was demonstrated. The effect of digital processing of an interference signal on the achievable axial spatial resolution was shown. The influence of the shape of the joint spectral amplitude of the entangled photons on the final interference signal was analyzed, and the possibility of improving the quality of the interference signal by controlling the properties of the spectral amplitude was considered.

Measuring the complex Joint Spectral Amplitude of photon pairs with a compact silicon chip

Massimo Borghi

Stimulated Emission Tomography (SET) is a technique which maps the Joint Spectral Amplitude (JSA) of photon pairs with extremely high signal to noise ratio and low integration times. While the modulus of the JSA is easy to access, the retrieval of the Joint Spectral Phase (JSP) is far more challenging and requires advanced interferometric techniques. Here we present and validate a scheme to measure the complex JSA by using a reconfigurable silicon chip. In particular, we map the rich structure of the JSP of a silicon microresonator.
