Time-bin-modulated biphotons from cavity-enhanced down-conversion.

We have generated a new type of biphoton state by cavity-enhanced down-conversion in a type-II phase-matched, periodically poled KTiOPO4 crystal. By introducing a weak intracavity birefringence, we obtained signal and idler photons whose quantum interference was modulated between singlet and triplet signatures according to their arrival-time difference. This cavity-enhanced biphoton source is spectrally bright, yielding a single-mode fiber-coupled coincidence rate of 0.7 pairs/s per mW of pump power per MHz of down-conversion bandwidth.

Generating entangled two-photon states with coincident frequencies.

It is shown that parametric down-conversion, with a short-duration pump pulse and a long nonlinear crystal that is appropriately phase matched, can produce a frequency-entangled biphoton state whose individual photons are coincident in frequency. Quantum interference experiments which distinguish this state from the familiar time-coincident biphoton state are described.
