摘要:

本文提出并实验验证了二阶非线性介质中的第二类自发参量下转换(SPDC)理论。作为一个特殊的情况下,我们探讨从SPDC产生的级联的两个散装晶体分离的空气间隙中的干涉效应。发现偏振量子干涉图案随两个晶体之间的间距强烈变化。这被发现是一个合作的效果,由于两种机制:分离晶体和时空效应所产生的横波矢量列入介质的色散。这些效应为控制SPDC中产生的量子态提供了两种伴随的途径。我们希望这些结果是感兴趣的量子技术的发展和周期性变化的非线性材料中的SPDC的产生。

英文摘要:

We develop and experimentally verify a theory of Type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in media with inhomogeneous distributions of second-order nonlinearity. As a special case, we explore interference effects from SPDC generated in a cascade of two bulk crystals separated by an air gap. The polarization quantum-interference pattern is found to vary strongly with the spacing between the two crystals. This is found to be a cooperative effect due to two mechanisms: the chromatic dispersion of the medium separating the crystals and spatiotemporal effects which arise from the inclusion of transverse wave vectors. These effects provide two concomitant avenues for controlling the quantum state generated in SPDC. We expect these results to be of interest for the development of quantum technologies and the generation of SPDC in periodically varying nonlinear materials.
