在参数下转换中在何处创建光子?双光子态时空特性的控制

Where are photons created in parametric down conversion? On the control of the spatio-temporal properties of biphoton states

Alexander Büse, Nora Tischler, Mathieu L. Juan, Gabriel Molina-Terriza

摘要:

在自发参量下转换中,已知光子在晶体的整个长度上相干地并且以相等的概率产生。因此,在晶体中没有产生光子对的特定位置。我们做了一个看似矛盾的观察,我们可以控制晶体沿传播方向的位置的时间延迟。我们解决了这个矛盾的时空相关性严重影响的时间属性的光子对,当使用一个有限的检测器的大小。我们希望这对需要不可分辨光子的实验有重要的意义。

英文摘要:

In spontaneous parametric down-conversion photons are known to be created coherently and with equal probability over the entire length of the crystal. Then, there is no particular position in the crystal where a photon pair is created. We make the seemingly contradictory observation that we can control the time delay with the crystal position along the propagation direction. We resolve this contradiction by showing that the spatio-temporal correlations critically affect the temporal properties of the pair of photons, when using a finite detector size. We expect this to have important implications for experiments that require indistinguishable photons.
