摘要:

利用非线性晶体中的自发参量下转换(SPDC)产生纠缠光子源(SEP),研究了不同模式光(包括高阶涡旋)下转换产生的纠缠光子对的空间分布。我们观察到,对于高斯泵浦,SPDC环的厚度与泵浦光的半径成线性关系。然而,在携带涡旋的光束的情况下,对于临界半径以上的光束形成两个同心的SPDC环。随着涡旋光束阶数的增加,SPDC环的半高宽(FWHM)也随之增加。我们的数值计算结果支持了涡旋的临界束宽以及所观察到的SPDC环的半高宽的存在。

英文摘要:

We make a source of entangled photons (SEP) using spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in a non-linear crystal and study the spatial distribution of photon pairs obtained through the down-conversion of different modes of light including higher order vortices. We observe that for the Gaussian pump, the thickness of the SPDC ring varies linearly with the radius of pump beam. However, in case of vortex carrying beams, two concentric SPDC rings are formed for beams above a critical radius. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of SPDC rings increase with increase in the order of optical vortex beams. The presence of a critical beam width for the vortices as well as the observed FWHM of the SPDC rings are supported with our numerical results.
