Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations in spontaneous parametric down-conversion: Beyond the Gaussian approximation

We present analytic expressions for the coincidence detection probability amplitudes of photon pairs generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion in both momentum and position spaces, without making use of the Gaussian approximation, and taking into account the effects of birefringence in the nonlinear crystal. We also present experimental data supporting our theoretical predictions, using Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations as benchmarks, for 8 different pump beam configurations.

Transverse spatial and frequency properties of two-photon states generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion

We present a detailed account of the two-photon states generated by SPDC in both type I and type II phase matching, including the effects of anisotropy of the nonlinear medium and the frequency spread of the down-converted fields. Accurate as well as simplified expressions are derived for type I and type II phase matching in the context of Fourier Optics. The main results are compared with experimental data available in the literature, showing good agreement in all cases.
