Reconstructing ultrafast energy-time-entangled two-photon pulses

Jean-Philippe W. MacLean, Sacha Schwarz, Kevin J. Resch

The generation of ultrafast laser pulses and the reconstruction of their electric fields is essential for many applications in modern optics. Quantum optical fields can also be generated on ultrafast timescales; however, the tools and methods available for strong laser pulses are not appropriate for measuring the properties of weak, possibly entangled pulses. Here, we demonstrate a method to reconstruct the joint-spectral amplitude of a two-photon energy-time entangled state from joint measurements of the frequencies and arrival times of the photons, and the correlations between them. Our reconstruction method is based on a modified Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm. Such techniques are essential to measure and control the shape of ultrafast entangled photon pulses.

Controlling nonlinear photon-photon interaction via a two-level system

Zhiyuan Dong, Guofeng Zhang

The problem of photon-photon interaction controlled by a two-level system is studied in this paper. Specifically, we have proposed two scenarios: Case 1, how a two-level system changes the pulse shapes of two initially uncorrelated input photons in a single input channel; and Case 2, how a two-level system entangles two counter-propagating photons, one in each input channel. The steady-state output field states for both cases are derived explicitly. For Case 1, the Wigner spectrum is used to exhibit the interesting properties of the output field state. For Case 2, the nonlinear property of the interaction between the two-level system and the two input photons has been revealed by the probabilities of observing photons in the output channels. In addition, two-photon interference, similar to Hong-Ou-Mandel effect, occurs when the two input photons are chosen with the same pulse shape.

Quantum properties of counterpropagating two-photon states generated in a planar waveguide

Jan Peřina

A nonlinear planar waveguide pumped by a beam orthogonal to its surface may serve as a versatile source of photon pairs. By changing the pump-pulse duration, pump-beam transverse width, and angular decomposition of the pump-beam frequency characteristics of a photon pair, including the spectral widths of signal and idler fields, the pair time duration as well as the degree of entanglement of the two fields, can be changed significantly. Using the measured spectral widths of the down-converted fields and the width of a coincidence-count dip in a Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer, the entropy of entanglement can be determined.
