Theoretical Interpretation of Experimental Results on Four-Photon de Broglie Wavelength Measurement

Ruopeng Wang

Experimental results of four-photon de Broglie wavelength measurement are analyzed based on a local description for the quantum state and optical field of photon pairs generated from spontaneous parametric down-conversion(SPDC).The agreement between the theoretical results and reported experimental is found.

Scheme for fourfold de Broglie wavelength reduction of a multi-photon wavepacket

Ole Steuernagel

Twofold reduced de Broglie wavelengths have been observed in two-photon interference experiments. With present technology it should be possible to observe a fourfold reduction when using a four-photon state from spontaneous parametric down-conversion. It is proposed to use a Mach–Zehnder set-up, which shows boson enhancement at the input beamsplitter and thus allows us to circumvent fourth-order non-linearities which would be necessary otherwise. The fourfold decrease in the observed de Broglie wavelength with perfect visibility is in principle achievable. This constitutes a reduction of the observed de Broglie wavelength below the wavelength of the generating source.

Measurement of reduced four-photon de Broglie wavelength at telecom wavelength

In this context, we have developed an efficient photon-pair source designed for such multiphoton experiments at telecom wavelength. Making use of this source, we demonstrate the first measurement of reduced de Broglie wavelength of the four-photon state at the telecom wavelength.
