Comment on “Dispersion-Independent High-Visibility Quantum Interference in Ultrafast Parametric Down-Conversion”

Abstract

We show in this Comment that the interpretation of experimental data as well as the theory presented in Atatüre et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 618 (2000)] are incorrect and discuss why such a scheme cannot be used to "recover" high-visibility quantum interference.

Anticorrelation effect in femtosecond-pulse pumped type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion

Yoon-Ho Kim, V. Berardi, Maria V. Chekhova +1 more

We report an experimental demonstration of an anticorrelation effect in femtosecond-pulse pumped type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion. Our experimental data, which is different from that of Atat\"ure et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 1323 (2000)], confirmed the shallow symmetric ``dip'' that is predicted theoretically by Keller and Rubin [Phys. Rev. A 56, 1534 (1997)] and Grice and Walmsley [Phys. Rev. A 56, 1627 (1997)]. We show in this paper that the asymmetric dip observed in the literature is an artifact, which is caused by the asymmetric optical elements introduced into the beam path after the down-conversion process. The ``partial distinguishability'' theory suggested by Atat\"ure et al. is therefore incorrect.

Dispersion-Independent High-Visibility Quantum Interference in Ultrafast Parametric Down-Conversion

Mete Atatüre, Alexander V. Sergienko, Bahaa E. A. Saleh +1 more

We demonstrate the effective removal of intrinsic distinguishability between entangled-photon pairs in femtosecond spontaneous parametric down-conversion. High-visibility quantum interference is recovered (an increase to 96% from 17%) while preserving the high photon-flux density associated with the use of long nonlinear crystals. This new technique is expected to serve as a basic component in the preparation of multiphoton entangled states.
