Abstract

A method is proposed and implemented for controlling the spectrum of spontaneous parametric down-conversion. The method is based on generating a temperature gradient along a nonlinear crystal in which biphotons are generated. In this case, the phase-synchronism conditions are modified due to the temperature dependence of the refractive indices. As a result, the spectral composition of the emitted two-photon field is changed.
