Experimental observation of double-peak structure of coincidence spectra in ultra-fast Spontaneous Parametric Down Conversion

The requirement on the symmetry of the biphoton wave function results in a double peak structure of the coincidence spectra of Spontaneous Parametric Down Conversion (SPDC) [1]. In this work we report the experimental observation of this effect by careful tailoring parameters of the SPDC crystal, the ultra-fast pump laser, and the measurement setup. The results are shown to be relevant to quantum state engineering of ultra-fast polarization-, or frequency-entangled mixed states.

Peak Doubling in SPDC Coincidence Spectra with a Short-Pulse Pump

We describe a double-peak structure of the coincidence spectrum of biphoton states in the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion with a pump having the form of short pulses. The effect is shown to arise owing to the obligatory symmetry of bihoton wave functions, as wave functions describing states of two bozons obeying the Bose-Einstein statistics. Parameters of the peaks are found and conditions necessary for experimental observation of the effect are determined.
